A 27-year-old man is working hard to change the law to make it possible to be legally adopted by his stepfather.

A survey has found that 60% of women in the UK who have been married in a traditional Muslim wedding ceremony do not have their marriages legally recognised. This means that they are left without protection and rights.

A family law group has warned that millions of couples who live together unmarried could be unaware of their rights should their relationship break down.

Research by a Scottish children’s charity has found that the European Union Withdrawal Bill is likely to affect the rights of children in Scotland. The report was published by Together (Scottish Alliance for Children’s Rights) and found that 10% of children who were born in Scotland in 2016 risk losing vital protections, due to the Brexit interference with cross-border family law.
