A Scottish court allows two non-cohabiting parents to jointly adopt their child, prioritizing the child’s welfare and shared parenting.
A Scottish judge has made a landmark ruling allowing two separated individuals to jointly adopt an eight-year-old girl, the first such decision under Scots law.
Despite no longer living together or being in a formal relationship, the couple was recognized as a family unit because they continue to share parenting responsibilities and the child thrives in both homes.
The Court of Session’s June 2025 ruling, published in September, emphasized that shared residence is not required for a family relationship, and that the child’s welfare is paramount.
The decision, supported by law firm Wright Johnston & Mackenzie, reflects modern family structures and ensures both parents have equal legal status, reinforcing the importance of stable, cooperative co-parenting regardless of marital or cohabitation status.
