Separation Agreement / Divorce Support Pack

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a separation agreement in Ireland?

A separation agreement is a legally binding contract between spouses who have decided to live apart. It covers division of assets, maintenance, custody arrangements, and other matters without going to court.

Do I need a solicitor for a separation agreement?

While not legally required, it is strongly recommended. A solicitor ensures your rights are protected and the agreement is enforceable. Our service includes solicitor review of your agreement.

How long does it take to get a separation agreement?

With our service, a draft separation agreement is typically prepared within 5-7 working days after we receive your completed questionnaire and all necessary information.

Is a separation agreement the same as a divorce?

No. A separation agreement allows spouses to live apart and settle financial matters, but does not dissolve the marriage. You must be separated for at least two years before applying for divorce in Ireland.

How much does a separation agreement cost in Ireland?

Our separation agreement service is offered at a fixed fee, significantly lower than traditional solicitor costs. The price includes drafting, review, and amendments.
