Parental responsibility/maintenance

[SC00BY]

Ok here goes,

I was in a same sex relationship. My partner had a child while we were together. We split up 3 years ago, but I still see our son regularly. We are thinking of applying for parental responsibility for me. (late I know)

If I had parental responsibility, would I then be liable for maintenance/CSA

I hope someone understands this.
Regards.

Is there an error in your question?
I regret I am one of the people who do not understand your question, are you a biological parent?

Is it this case?

If so it answers Tony's point as the baby was via another relationship
ummmm's link seems useful

Hi, no i'm not the biological parent.

But my ex and I would like me to have parental responsibility as I still look after 'our' child.

The biological mother has automatic parental responsibility, as you are not a parent of the child I would apply to the court for parental responsibility to be granted. The term parental responsibility covers all rights, duties, powers and responsibilities for a child.
