Our Family Law Services for Kilmarnock

Custody and Contact Arrangements
Securing custody and contact arrangements can be one of the most complex aspects of family disputes. Our solicitors have extensive experience representing families in Sheriff Courts across East Ayrshire, including those from Kilmarnock. We work diligently to achieve arrangements that prioritise the well-being of your children, ensuring their needs are met with care and sensitivity.

Adoption and Permanence Orders
For children who cannot remain with their birth families, finding a stable and permanent home is essential. At Taylor & Henderson, we assist families in Kilmarnock with applications for Permanence Orders and Adoption Orders. Working closely with local authorities, we ensure that the best interests of the child are always at the forefront.

Cohabitation Rights
Unmarried couples living together may face financial or legal uncertainties if they separate or experience bereavement. Our legal team provides expert advice on cohabitation rights, helping clients in Kilmarnock understand their entitlements and secure their future through appropriate legal measures.

Divorce Proceedings
Divorce can be a highly emotional and complicated process. At Taylor & Henderson, we provide clear guidance and compassionate support to clients in Kilmarnock, handling all aspects of divorce law, including financial settlements and arrangements for children. Our aim is to help you move forward with confidence while ensuring a fair resolution for all parties involved.

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 required. We assist families in Kilmarnock with these applications, ensuring proper management of personal and financial affairs for their loved ones.

Separation Agreements
A well-drafted separation agreement can help avoid future disputes over finances or arrangements for children. Our solicitors specialise in crafting agreements that reflect your unique circumstances, offering practical solutions for clients across Kilmarnock and East Ayrshire.
