Separating, but want to settle things on your own terms — without the courtroom?
A Deed of Separation (also called a separation agreement) is a legally binding written agreement between separating spouses or civil partners. It deals with the practical issues — the family home, maintenance, custody/access, pension orders, and division of assets — without the cost, delay and adversarial atmosphere of a judicial separation.
Why a Deed of Separation?
- Faster than divorce or judicial separation — finalised in weeks, not years
- Fixed fee — €608.85 inc. VAT, agreed before work begins
- Confidential — no public court hearing
- Foundation for divorce later — the same terms typically carry through
What’s included for €608.85 inc. VAT — Uncontested / Joint:

Full negotiation track — solicitor-to-solicitor negotiation where the terms are still being worked out. Quote on request.
Important: Irish law requires that each party should have independent legal advice. We can act for one party only; the other party should instruct their own solicitor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Deed of Separation legally binding?
Yes. Once signed under seal by both parties (each having had independent legal advice), it is a binding contract enforceable in the Irish courts.
Can I get divorced later if I already have a Deed of Separation?
Yes — and most divorces in Ireland are based on a pre-existing Deed of Separation.
Do both spouses need to sign?
Yes. A Deed of Separation requires the signed consent of both parties.
What if my spouse won’t engage?
Then a Deed of Separation isn’t the right route — you’d need to apply for a judicial separation or, after the qualifying period, a divorce. Book a free callback and we’ll point you in the right direction.
Is this confidential?
Yes. A Deed of Separation is a private contract between you and your spouse. There is no court hearing, no public record.
