Category: Divorce & Family Law

In order to obtain to a divorce in Ireland, an individual must be living apart from their spouse for two out of the last five years and there must be no reasonable prospect of reconciliation. We guide our clients though the initial mediation and negotiations with their spouse through to the Court proceedings.

Our Family Law team is very experienced in advising clients on the implications a Divorce can have on their assets and their legal rights, and any additional Court orders which could be granted relating to their property, pension or custody/access of the children.

Our firm’s primary aim is to avoid conflict in delicate law matters and to try to reach amicable solutions through negotiation and mediation. If this is not possible, and as a last resort, it may be necessary for both parties to go through Court proceedings, such as obtaining an order for Judicial Separation.

Such an order will mean that the two parties are still considered spouses however they are no longer obliged to live together. If this is the case, our team of solicitors will advise you on the legal grounds that must be satisfied in order to initiate these proceedings and offer you support at every stage of the process.

Alternatively, there is the option of entering into a Separation Agreement, which may be a viable option to certain clients where proceedings are not yet being considered. Our team has a wealth of experience in drafting Separation Agreements, which would cover issues such as custody and access, maintenance and the division of family property.
