This book examines the idea of 'parental responsibility' in English
law and what is expected of a responsible parent. The scope of
'parental responsibility', a key concept in family law, is
undefined and often ambiguous. Yet, to date, more attention has
been paid to how individuals acquire parental responsibility than
to the question of the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities
they have once they obtain it. This book redresses the balance by
providing the first sustained examination of the different elements
of parental responsibility, bringing together leading scholars to
comment on specific aspects of its operation. The book begins by
exploring the conceptual underpinnings of parental responsibility
in the context of parents' and children's rights. The analysis
highlights the inherent constraints and limitations of 'parental
responsibility' and how its scope has deliberately been curtailed
in certain contexts. The book then considers what parental
responsibility allows and requires in specific areas, for example,
naming a child, education, religious upbringing, medical treatment,
corporal punishment, dealing with any contracts entered into or
property owned by the child, representing the child in legal
proceedings, consenting to a child's marriage or civil partnership
and the law's response to the death of a child. In the final
section, the idea of the 'responsible parent' is considered in the
contexts of child support, contact, tort, and criminal law.
