Parental Responsibilities and Parental Rights Agreement

This agreement lets a father who does not have Parental Responsibilities and Rights (PRRs) for a child and who was never married to the child's mother to get PRRs for that child. To do so, the child's mother and father can complete this form and then register it in a public register called The Books of Council and Session. The pack is made up of the form itself and a folder with information about the form and the consequences of registering it.
