Family Law

We strive to find a practical and beneficial solution for clients at a very difficult and stressful period in their lives. We achieve this through assessing the situation the client is experiencing and then outlining the most appropriate strategy to adopt, in order for the client to achieve the best possible outcome.

We know that Family law is a highly sensitive and emotionally charged area. The breakdown of a marriage or a relationship can have a traumatic impact on the family as a unit and, in particular, on children of the relationship. This is often compounded by uncertainty as to what your rights are and where you stand in the eyes of the Law. Our role is to provide clarity regarding your rights and to help plot a legal course through your particular situation.

We act in cases appearing before the District Court, Circuit Court and High Court. We also strive to achieve resolutions of all issues through alternative dispute resolution processes, such as Mediation.

We are committed to providing a sensitive and confidential service tailored to your circumstances. Our aim is to avoid protracted litigation and deal with matters as quickly and amicably as possible.

We provide advice on all aspects of family law, to include:

• Divorce
• Separation by agreement
• Judicial Separation
• Spousal and Child Maintenance and dealing with the financial consequences of marital breakdown
• Child Custody, Access, Guardianship and paternity disputes
