At McCarthy + Co, our family law team regularly advises parents who are considering relocating internationally with their child following a separation. For some, it may be a desire to return home to be closer to family support. For others, it may involve a new job opportunity, a relationship, or the hope of a better quality of life.

However, where the other parent is a guardian of the child, relocating abroad cannot usually happen without:
✔️ The consent of the other parent, or
✔️ Permission from the court

Taking a child abroad without the appropriate consent can have very serious legal consequences, including potential child abduction proceedings under the Hague Convention.

In our latest blog, we explain:
• The legal considerations involved
• The factors a court will take into account
• The practical steps in making — or responding to — a relocation application

Can a will be challenged if a family member is left out?

In this video, we explain the three main ways a will can be challenged under Irish law.

✔️ Spouses
A spouse has a legal right share of the estate. If this is not provided for, they are entitled to claim it.

✔️ Cohabitants
A cohabiting partner who was financially dependent on the deceased may be able to bring a claim. This is not automatic and depends on the specific circumstances, with the final decision made by the court.

✔️ Children
A parent has a legal duty to make “proper provision” for their children. If a child believes this has not been met, they may challenge the will — but outcomes depend on individual circumstances.

Every situation is different, and these matters can be complex. Seeking legal advice early is essential to understand your position and options.

At McCarthy + Co Solicitors LLP, we provide clear, practical guidance to help you navigate these issues with confidence.

This is one of the most common — and most important — questions we’re asked by clients considering divorce.

Many people assume that assets are split 50/50. In reality, there is no automatic rule in Irish law.

Instead, the court looks at the full financial circumstances of both spouses and asks whether “proper provision” has been made. This can include:

• The family home and property
• Savings and pensions
• Business interests
• Debts and financial responsibilities
• The needs of any dependent children

Every situation is different, which is why clear legal advice at an early stage is so important.

In our latest blog, Clíodhna O’Regan answers the most frequently asked questions about asset division and explains what you can expect during the process.

20/05/2026

This is one of the most frequently asked questions our family law team receives. When a marriage comes to an end, many individuals understandably wish to formalise the process as efficiently as possible.

The truth is that there is no definitive timeline. The duration of a divorce depends on several factors, including:

✔️ Whether matters are agreed between the parties
✔️ The involvement of dependent children
✔️ The complexity of financial arrangements
✔️ The division of assets and property
✔️ Court schedules and availability

As a general guide, many divorce cases in Ireland take approximately 12 months from the date the application is issued. However, straightforward cases may be resolved sooner, while more complex matters can take longer.

At McCarthy + Co, our experienced family law solicitors provide clear, practical advice to help you navigate the process with confidence and peace of mind.

Ireland’s rental sector underwent significant reform on 1 March 2026 with the introduction of the Residential Tenancies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2026. These changes have important implications for landlords, investors, and anyone considering entering the buy-to-let market.

Key highlights include:

✔️ A new national rent control system, replacing Rent Pressure Zones
✔️ Rent increases now linked to the Consumer Price Index, subject to a 2% annual cap
✔️ Enhanced security of tenure through rolling six-year tenancies
✔️ Distinct rules for small landlords and larger landlords
✔️ Opportunities to reset rent to market level in specific circumstances

These reforms affect rental income, property values, and long-term investment strategies. Understanding the legal implications is essential before making any property decisions.

At McCarthy + Co Solicitors LLP, our experienced conveyancing team is advising clients on how these changes impact property purchases and investments.
