The breakdown of a relationship is one of the most stressful events in your life. As family law solicitors, we hope that we can make things a little easier for you by giving you all the help you need to fully understand the legal and practical consequences of the breakdown of your relationship. We will help relieve some of the uncertainty of your very difficult situation.
We will work closely with you to reach a satisfactory resolution. Our aim is to resolve matters amicably. If that is not possible we will assist you with the family court process.
We will advise and guide you through every step of the family law courts process and explain to you clearly the position of family law in Ireland. In matters involving guardianship, custody and access, we are sensitive to the needs of children and work towards a resolution which will minimise the impact of litigation upon them.
