The pressures of Ireland’s fast paced way of life and indeed the recent economic difficulties can take their toll on the family unit. Unfortunately, in particular circumstances this may lead to marital/ relationship breakdown. Should you find yourself in this situation it is important that you seek professional advice as soon as possible in order to establish what your next steps might be.

We understand the sensitivities and emotions that may be involved when a breakdown occurs. The team appreciates the unique situation that the client finds themselves in and has the ability to provide a discreet and professional service at all times.

It is important that you receive clear, practical advice when you discuss the options with your solicitor. Your solicitor needs to act purposefully and to keep you abreast of the developing situation. The family law team aim to resolve issues as quickly as possible in order to stop the situation deteriorating and legal proceedings being required to resolve the matter. We also take a non-confrontational approach with the other parties’ advisors. Naturally, if a matter does become contentious we will pursue it rigorously and ensure that your interests are prioritised at all times.
