Talk:Scots family law

Removal of false claim
I have removed this (unreferenced) claim: This government paper states explicitly "Common law marriage does not exist in Scotland.": --Mais oui! (talk) 04:45, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * "It is important historically because common law marriage was first created in Scotland."
 * http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Resource/Doc/113328/0027452.pdf
 * Both comments aee absolutely true. I believe that Scotland was the birthplace of common law marriage, but then elminated it. Bearian (talk) 16:41, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Developing Article
Over the next little while I am going to try to work on expanding and developing this article. Scots family law is a unique sysetm very distinct from England & Wales / Northern Ireland and it is also of special interest to the public. I prefer to craft sections in my sandbox before copying them over to the article to ensure that I am happy with it before making the edit public. Given that this article basically has no information currenlty, I hope this approach is ok with everyone. I will, however, move them as I go section by section to allow for people to review/comment/amend as they see fit.

My proposed outline for the article is:

Marriage and civil partnership✅ Marriage
 * Civil ceremony
 * Religious ceremony
 * Legal impediments to marriage

Civil partnership
 * Legal impediments to civil partnership

Legal rights and obligations Marriage
 * Aliment
 * Moveable property
 * Inheritance
 * Criminal law

Civil partnership
 * Occupancy rights
 * Moveable property
 * Inheritance
 * Criminal law

Divorce and dissolution✅
 * Marriage
 * Civil partnership

Cohabitation

Children
 * Legitimacy
 * Parental responsiblities and rights
 * Adoption
 * Legal capacity

---

This outline will probably be changed as I write the article, but comments are welcome on the outline now. Cohabitation will obviously need sub-headings as well. Connolly15 (talk) 15:33, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
