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 separation agreement in Ireland is a written agreement between spouses or civil partners who have decided to live apart, recording how they will deal with matters such as the family home, money and children. This is a digital, self-complete separation agreement template for Ireland, completed online. No solicitor review is included at this price, and for most separations we recommend your reviewed by a solicitor or professionally drafted service instead.
Separation agreements can have long-term consequences for property, pensions, maintenance and children, and each party should take independent legal advice before signing. A separation agreement does not dissolve a marriage or civil partnership; divorce or dissolution is a separate court process. The template may suit couples who have already reached a full and simple agreement and understand its effect.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a separation agreement template 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.
Should I get legal advice before signing a separation agreement?
Yes. Each party should get independent legal advice before signing, because the agreement can affect property, pensions, maintenance and children for many years. For most separations we recommend your reviewed by a solicitor or professionally drafted service.
Does a separation agreement end my marriage?
No. It records the terms on which you live apart, but the marriage or civil partnership continues until a court grants a divorce or dissolution.
