Different issues of residence / contact.
The Children (Scotland) Act 1995 is the law governing children’s welfare issues. This law gives all mothers, married fathers and some unmarried fathers parental rights and responsibilities provided that their child was born after March 2006 and that their name was entered on the birth certificate of the infant. The law takes the view that if their parents can make shared decisions about their welfare, it is better for children. When conflicts occur, however, and the parents cannot settle them, the courts will interfere and orders will be given.
