Under Kenyan law, parental responsibility refers to the legal duties, powers, and authority a parent has over their child. According to the Children Act, 2022, both biological parents are jointly responsible for the child’s well-being — regardless of marital status.
A Parental Responsibility Agreement (PRA) is a formal agreement between parents (especially those not living together) that outlines how they will share the duties and decisions concerning the child. These agreements may cover:
Custody and living arrangements
Visitation schedules
Medical and educational decisions
Financial contributions and maintenance
Religion and general upbringing
PRA agreements must be written, signed by both parents, and registered with the court to become legally binding.
