Children: Parental and Adult Responsibilities Explained

At birth, the law defines a the relationship between a child and its parents and no other adult. Normally, the Law plays no further part in the child's upbringing but in some cases events subsequent to their birth result in the need for additional principles. This section covers the relationship between children and adults, not necessarily their parents, and also the principles the courts use when required to intervene and in some cases redraw the relationship created at birth.
