FAMILY LAW

Frequently Asked Questions 

What conditions must I fulfill to file for Divorce in Ireland?+
There are three prerequisties to applying for a divorce in Ireland :
1) At the date of the commencement of the proceedings, the spouses must have lived apart for two out of the previous three years.
2) There must be no reasonable prospect of a reconciliation between the spouses.
3) Proper provision is to be made for the spouse and dependent family members.
Must I go through a judicial separation prior to applying for a divorce?+
No, once you are two years Separated you may start Divorce proceedings.
How do I prove that I am Separated for two years ?+
You will be required to complete a document called the “Family Law Civil Bill” in which you will be required to state the date you were married and the length of time you and your spouse have been living apart. You will be asked under Oath in Court to verify this information.
How to apply for a divorce in Ireland?+
A divorce application begins with the completion of:
1) Family Law Civil Bill,
2) an Affidavit of Means and/or an Affidavit of Welfare depending on whether there are dependent members of the family.
These documents are then Stamped by the Court and served on your spouse, together with Affidavits of Service i.e. proof of such service. Proof of the sending or serving of all documents including notice of the divorce hearing by sworn Affidavit must be provided. Depending on the response from your spouse other documents may also be required.
What is mediation?+
Mediation is a process whereby an independent third party helps both parties come to agreement about difficult issues such as custody and access to children, division of assets, maintenance payments and pensions etc. The aim of mediation is to help the couple resolve matters in a constructive way so that the interests of both parties and in particular those of their children are met.
What information must I give regarding my children?+
The Family Law Court places primary emphasis on the welfare of children. An Affidavit of Welfare must be submitted in all cases where there are dependent children. The court must be satisfied that proper provision is made for the dependent children and therefore requires details on where and with whom the children live, who cares for them, their education, accommodation, health etc.
