Parenting in same-sex Relationships Solicitor Scotland – Family Law

There are numerous things involved in being a first-time parent.  Complexity is something it shouldn’t be.

At Complete Clarity, we can help you navigate the process of becoming your new child’s legal parent and discuss all of your alternatives with you in light of your unique situation, including the possibility of surrogacy.

There are several methods to become a parent in Scotland, and the ideal one for you will solely depend on what you feel will be best for your growing family, including options like surrogacy or involving a same-sex spouse or civil partner.

We offer an empathetic, friendly, approachable, down-to-earth service that is professional and efficient.

Donor Scotland

Using a sperm donor is the most obvious “starting point” for lesbian couples or single parents to have biological children.

However, if the parent(s) experience infertility issues—which are not unusual—other assisted conception technologies might be needed. This would need to use surrogates or perhaps donated eggs in cases where fertility is an issue.

For any kind of assisted conception, we would always recommend going through a clinic since it offers stronger legal safeguards.

Adoption

In Scotland, adoption for same-sex female couples has become an increasingly accepted and celebrated option for creating families. The legal landscape has evolved significantly, ensuring that same-sex couples have the same rights and opportunities as heterosexual couples when it comes to adoption. This inclusive approach not only provides a loving home for children in need but also strengthens the fabric of society by recognizing and supporting diverse family structures. With robust legal protections and support systems in place, same-sex female couples in Scotland can navigate the adoption process with confidence, knowing that their ability to provide a nurturing environment is what truly matters.

Joint parenting

When two individuals decide to become parents together without being romantically involved, this arrangement is known as co-parenting. Lesbian women often choose co-parenting arrangements with gay couples or single male acquaintances, either as individuals or as a couple, to embark on the journey of parenthood.

While co-parenting agreements are legal, they carry significant legal risks due to the limitation that a child can have only two legal parents, which depends on your relationship status.

If co-parenting is the best option for your family, it is crucial to ensure that all parties involved are in agreement and to carefully consider your objectives post-conception, including the implications of a civil partnership. A co-parenting agreement should only be made with a person you know and trust, and only after you fully understand the associated legal ramifications.

I would highly recommend Simplicity Legal. They have been provided a brilliant service for me the last couple of years dealing with power of attorney, sorting out my dads estate after his death and buying and selling my house. I mainly dealt with Kirsten who was excellent explaining all the processes and keeping me updated. Would definitely use Simplicity again in the future

I was recently introduced to Simplicity Legal Glasgow by a colleague who had used the firm to help him with his divorce proceedings. I took that advice and am really delighted that I did. They were incredibly professional and responsive, constantly striking a balance between being empathetic and ruthlessly efficient/candid when the situation warranted it. Everything was described in layman's terms, with advantages and cons clearly highlighted and always expense transparency. I felt supported by the proper level of guidance provided, but the final decision was always mine. I cannot recommend the Simplicity Legal team highly enough. Thank you for all of your help.

My husband and I cannot thank Simplicity Solicitors Glasgow enough for their professional assistance with our claim; we were very pleased with the entire process. They kept us updated on the progress of the process,. The solicitors with whom we dealt with, were very understanding and helpful, and explained everything to us in a way that we understood. They are a very professional company, and I would recommend their services to anyone who needed information or assistance. We are grateful to have them represent us.

In my experience Clarity and Simplicity are a very reliable firm. At the moment it's not easy to find reliable solicitors, and in fact I approached Clarity and Simplicity after a rather bad experience with another company. I was pleasantly surprised by Kirsten's efficiency and the way things were handled. Highly recommended.
