Guide only — this matter needs a solicitor. Under Irish law this work must be carried out by a solicitor, so it is not sold on this site. The information below explains what is involved so you can brief a solicitor with confidence.

A postnuptial agreement review in Ireland is a solicitor’s review of an agreement made by spouses or civil partners after their marriage or civil partnership. This Postnuptial Agreement Review service is Ireland-specific and carried out under Irish family and succession law. It is for couples who have a postnuptial agreement, or a draft, and want a solicitor to review it and tailor it to their circumstances, without open-ended hourly billing. This service is not a substitute for full legal representation in contested or high-value matters; for complex disputes, contact us for a tailored quote.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a postnuptial agreement review cost in Ireland?
This page is a free guide — nothing on it is for sale. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate (a section 150 letter) before starting. Get quotes through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
Are postnuptial agreements binding in Ireland?
Like prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements are not automatically binding. A court must make proper provision for spouses and children, but it can take a properly made agreement into account.
Should my spouse get separate advice?
Yes. Each spouse should take independent legal advice. A solicitor can act for only one party.
For more on separation, children and family law, see our Family Law in Ireland guides and services.
