苏格兰法院允许两个非同居父母共同收养子女,优先考虑儿童福利和共同育儿。 A Scottish court allows two non-cohabiting parents to jointly adopt their child, prioritizing the child’s welfare and shared parenting.

一名苏格兰法官作出了具有里程碑意义的裁决,允许两个分离的个人共同收养一名8岁女孩,这是苏格兰法律下的第一个这样的决定。 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. 尽管双方不再共同生活或没有正式关系,但双方被承认为家庭单位,因为他们继续分担养育子女的责任,子女在两个家庭中都成长。 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. 9月公布的巡回法院2025年6月的裁决强调,家庭关系不需要共同居住,儿童的福利是最重要的。 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. 这一决定得到了Wright Johnston & Mackenzie律师事务所的支持,反映了现代家庭结构,确保了父母双方具有平等的法律地位,加强了不论婚姻或同居状况稳定、合作共同养育子女的重要性。 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.
