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.
OnlineLegalServices.ie is operated by Plus Promotions Limited, which is not a solicitor’s practice and does not give legal advice. To instruct a regulated practice, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
A separation agreement review call in Ireland is a confidential video or phone consultation with an Irish-qualified solicitor about a proposed separation agreement. It is booked online and gives clear, plain-English advice on the terms before you sign. Work of this kind is carried out by a solicitor regulated by the Law Society of Ireland. We are not a solicitor’s practice and do not provide it — to instruct a solicitor, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory. A consultation is not a substitute for full legal representation in contested or high-value matters; for complex disputes, contact us for a tailored quote.
To get the most from your consultation, gather the key documents before the call, such as letters, contracts, notices or folios, and note the important dates and the questions you most want answered. Sharing these through the intake form lets a solicitor focus on your situation rather than background, so you finish the call with clear next steps.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a separation agreement review call 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 advice before signing?
Yes. Each party should take independent legal advice before signing a separation agreement.
Can the solicitor act for both of us?
No. A solicitor can act for only one party.
