FAMILY LAW
We cover a range of familial legal services including marriage, civil partnerships and more.
what is FAMILY law?
Family law in Ireland encompasses the legal aspects of family relationships, including marriage, civil partnerships, separation, divorce, child custody and access, maintenance, domestic violence, and property distribution.
It is governed by various statutes such as the Family Law (Divorce) Act 1996, the Child and Family Relationships Act 2015, and the Domestic Violence Act 2018. The law ensures the protection of children’s rights, equitable distribution of marital assets, and fair arrangements for spousal and child support.
Family law cases are handled primarily by the Family Law Courts, with an emphasis on mediation and dispute resolution to achieve amicable settlements.
Prenuptial Agreements: Drafting and reviewing prenuptial agreements to protect individual assets and clarify financial arrangements.
Civil Partnership Agreements: Assisting with the legal formalities and agreements related to civil partnerships.
Legal Separation: Providing legal advice and representation in obtaining a separation agreement or judicial separation.
Divorce Proceedings: Assisting with filing for divorce, negotiating settlements, and representing clients in court to ensure fair distribution of assets and arrangements for children.
Custody Arrangements: Advising and representing clients in child custody disputes to determine the best interests of the child.
Access Rights: Establishing and enforcing access rights for non-custodial parents or other family members.
Maintenance Orders: Assisting clients in obtaining or modifying maintenance orders for children and spouses to ensure financial support.
Enforcement of Maintenance: Representing clients in enforcing maintenance orders and addressing non-payment issues.
Protection Orders: Assisting clients in obtaining protection, safety, or barring orders under the Domestic Violence Act 2018 to ensure their safety.
Legal Representation: Providing representation in court for clients facing domestic violence issues.
Marital Property Settlements: Negotiating and drafting agreements for the equitable distribution of marital property upon separation or divorce.
Family Home Protection: Advising on rights and protections under the Family Home Protection Act 1976.
