Separation Agreements, Judicial Separation & Divorce

Marriage breakups come in many forms and it is important to remember that no one-size-fits-all applies. Separation agreements, judicial separations and divorces are the main solutions to explore, however, it is extremely important that you obtain proper legal advice to assist you in understanding all the options open to you.

Cohabitation

Many modern couples now live together and decide not to get married for a variety of reasons. Historically, there was little protection for these couples upon the breakdown of the relationship. This is no longer the case and there are now much wider reliefs open where the relationship ends. If this happens to you, it is essential that you obtain legal advice to ensure your rights are protected.

Guardianship, Access and Maintenance

When a relationship ends and especially when children are involved, tensions can rise and relations can become extremely difficult. It is important that the rights of children to spend quality time with their parents are protected. This often involves difficult decisions, however, our team can assist you when making these decisions and help to bring closure to what are often complex cases.

Domestic Violence

Sadly, domestic violence continues to be prevalent in many relationships. Whatever the structure or type of relationship, it is important to remember that any violence is never acceptable. If you are the victim of domestic violence please contact SAFE Ireland, Womens Aid or Mens Aid for assistance and to understand the legal options available to you, please get in touch with our dedicated team.

If you feel either you or your children are in danger please contact the Gardaí immediately.
