Parental Responsibilities and Rights of Married Fathers

The biological father (in other words, the physical father) of a child has full parental responsibilities and rights in respect of the child if:

  • He is married to the child’s mother, or
  • he was married to the child’s mother at the time when the child was conceived (in other words, when the mother fell pregnant) or at the time of the child’s birth; or any time between these events.
