Dear all...

When filling the 47SK form question 41 (Does any other person have
custodial, access or guardianship rights to any of these children?)

I have 4 kids, 2 are no-biologically mine but do not have their "sperm-
donor" fathers on the birth certificate. Only one of them actually sees
one of them, do they really have any rights on them.. (even if one of
them would never have contact unless my eldest wanted to "track him
down" and my other son's "sperm donor" would probably have no objection
and we would inform him before leaving).

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated...

Hi
Yes unfortunately you do need whats called a statutory declaration which
is a legal document a solicitor will draw up and the childrens fathers
would have to sign in the presence of a solicitor (costs about ���£100).

My sons biological father has no legal access to my son by UK law and
hasn't seen him in years, however Australian law dictates that you need
both bio parents permission. I may be wrong in terms of if there is no
parental responsibility or if they are not on the birth certificate so
it would be best to check. If you get it wrong at this stage it would
cause further complications down the line. If you'd been previously
married then another thing to remember is that you would need certified
copies of all marriage and divorce papers!

Hope this is a pointer in the right direction!
