Divorce

Are you in need of divorce solicitors? The breakdown of a marriage is usually a sad, and sometimes traumatic time, both for the spouses involved, and for the children. Besides all the emotional and personal issues you will be dealing with, daily life must still go on.

How do I get a Divorce

In Ireland, we presently have a ‘no-fault’ system, which means there does not have to be misconduct by either spouse in order to be granted a Divorce. However, there are certain conditions that you must meet to get a decree of Divorce, these are:-

  1. When divorce proceedings begin, the spouses must have lived apart for at least two of the preceding three years.
  2. There must be no reasonable prospect of reconciliation between the spouses.
  3. There must be ‘proper provision’ for spouses and dependent family members.
  4. Any other conditions that the court deems necessary or appropriate.

Before you can apply for a Divorce, we, as your Divorce Solicitors, are legally required to discuss with you:-

  • The possibility of resolving the difficulties in your marriage.
  • Reaching a negotiated agreement, with the help of a Mediator.
  • Finalising a legal separation by agreement, in writing.
  • Finalising a legal separation by way of a Court Order.

Your Divorce Case – How Our Divorce Solicitors Will Help You

Your story, and your family’s circumstances, are absolutely unique to you, and no two cases are ever the same, which is why we tailor our approach and advice in every case to suit our client’s individual needs.

Many times, our clients approach us at an early stage, for some initial advice, to explore their options, before they reach the final conclusion that sadly, their marriage cannot be saved, and Divorce is the route they wish to take.

As your Solicitors, we do the following for you:-

  • assist you with the gathering of all relevant paperwork and information
  • carry out any Searches needed to find information (e.g. property title search)
  • brief a barrister to draft the Divorce Civil Bill (court proceedings)
  • draft other Court documents required by law in your case
  • issue and file the required court documents with the Court Office
  • serve them on the other spouse (or their solicitors)
  • deal with all correspondence and communication with the other spouse/their solicitors, on your behalf
  • deal with the other spouse/their solicitors to ensure they file the necessary documentation with the Court Office
  • deal with the other spouse/their legal team to ensure you get full financial disclosure.
  • attend Court on your behalf for any interim court appearances as necessary
  • attend and arrange any consultations required with your barrister
  • liaise with other professionals relevant in your case e.g. Auctioneers, Pension Providers, Financial Institutions, Accountants, Psychologists, Mediators, etc.
  • keep you updated on all developments and progress in your case.
  • attend any settlement negotiations with you and your barrister
  • prepare for and attend Court hearing.

This process can take some time, which is why we are happy to offer you an initial, no-obligation consultation to discuss your situation, and your requirements, before you commit to instructing us in your Divorce.

Thank you for being a powerful advocate representing me in family law court, helping me through a very difficult time and ensuring the best possible outcome for me and my family.  Pamela Clancy always explained things in such a way I’d understand not in “solicitor-talk”.  Pamela, your legal expertise and professionalism went above and beyond my expectations, if it wasn't for your patience with me, your skills and knowledge, my case wouldn't have been settled as soon as it was.

I'm very grateful for your time and effort you put in, and I appreciate the amazing work you did on my behalf, I will be forever grateful to you.  At times I struggled with decisions, you were always at the end of a phone call/email to help me.  My case was stressful at times, as expected, but you were professional and calm with me and always straightfoward.   I would definitely recommend you and i will be forever grateful helping me.
