Abstract
This thesis considers the position of unmarried fathers in the UK in the context of the acquisition of parental responsibility. Specifically, the author investigates the compatibility between the UK's current position in this context with the Government's obligations to the European Convention on Human Rights. Finding that the UK may soon find itself in violation of Articles 8 and 14 of the Convention, this thesis recommends reform in the form of two novel legal models.
