    Currently the UK does not recognize same sex unions. Which would indicate no rights could be accorded the non bio partner in such a union unless there was an adoption.

    The following can apply for a residence or contact order only without leave of the Courts:


    1/A step-parent or civil partner who has treated the child/children as a child/children of the family; or
    2/ Any person with whom the child/children has lived with for at least three years out of the last 5 years (but the period must not have ended more than 3 months before you make the application)
    3/Any person who has obtained the consent of the people whose legal position would be affected i.e. a person with parental responsibility, anyone with a Residence Order .



    All other people who are not listed above would require the leave of the Court.
