In England, having parental responsibility allows involvement in major decisions about a childs life. However, taking a child from school without the other parents consent, even without court orders, can lead to legal issues such as accusations of abduction. Mediation is recommended to resolve disputes, but if unsuccessful, applying for a Child Arrangements Order is advisable to legally establish access rights. Legal advice is crucial to avoid potential complications.
