Our Family Law Services for North Ayrshire

Child Custody and Contact Arrangements

Disputes over custody and contact can be one of the most challenging aspects of family breakdowns. Our solicitors have extensive experience representing clients in Sheriff Courts across North Ayrshire. We work closely with you to ensure arrangements are made that prioritise the welfare of your children, providing them with stability and security during this difficult time.

Adoption and Permanence Orders

When children cannot remain with their birth families, securing a safe and permanent home is essential. Taylor & Henderson supports families in North Ayrshire with applications for Permanence Orders and Adoption Orders. We collaborate with local authorities to ensure the best possible outcomes for the children involved.

Cohabitation Rights

Unmarried couples living together may face financial or legal uncertainties after separation or bereavement. Our legal team provides expert guidance on cohabitation rights, helping clients in North Ayrshire understand their entitlements and take steps to protect their interests through appropriate legal measures.

Divorce Proceedings

Divorce can be an emotionally taxing process that requires careful legal support. At Taylor & Henderson, we assist clients in North Ayrshire with all aspects of divorce law, including financial settlements and arrangements for children. Our solicitors aim to achieve fair outcomes while offering practical advice to help you move forward confidently.

Guardianship for Adults

When an adult lacks capacity due to conditions such as dementia or Alzheimer’s, or when a child that is either neurodivergent or has a disability is transitioning to adult services, a Guardianship Order may be necessary. We assist families in North Ayrshire with these applications, ensuring that personal and financial affairs are managed appropriately for their loved ones.

Separation Agreements

A well-prepared separation agreement can provide clarity on financial matters and arrangements for children, helping both parties avoid future disputes. Our solicitors specialise in drafting agreements tailored to your specific circumstances, offering practical solutions for clients across North Ayrshire.

Social Work Involvement
When child protection concerns arise, referrals may be made by the Social Work Department to the Scottish Children’s Reporter Administration (SCRA). Our experienced solicitors represent families at Children’s Hearings in North Ayrshire, advocating for the best interests of the child involved.
