Divorce in Ireland follows a strict legal timeline, not a personal one.

Courts need proof that a couple has lived apart for at least two of the previous three years, alongside proper financial and welfare arrangements for both spouses and any children. Residency requirements apply too.

How much you can inherit tax-free in Ireland depends entirely on your relationship to the person who has passed away.

Revenue splits beneficiaries into three groups, each with a different threshold, and children inheriting from a parent receive by far the most generous allowance. These thresholds were increased in October 2024, offering welcome relief to many families.

For a breakdown of the Group A, B and C thresholds, our article on inheritance tax in Ireland has the details:

Thinking about divorce in Ireland? The legal process isn't as daunting as it seems once you know the basics.

Before a court will grant a divorce, couples must meet specific conditions, including living apart for the required period and showing there's no realistic chance of reconciliation. Even couples still under the same roof can meet this test if the marriage has broken down in practice.

Our straightforward guide to getting a divorce in Ireland sets out exactly what's required:

Inheritance tax in Ireland goes by another name entirely: Revenue calls it Capital Acquisitions Tax.

CAT applies whenever someone receives a gift or inheritance above a set threshold, and it's the recipient, not the estate, who pays. The current rate stands at 33%, a figure unchanged since 2012.

Curious how the thresholds and rates apply to your own family? Our guide to inheritance tax in Ireland explains it all:

No two family disputes are exactly alike, which is why a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works when it comes to legal advice.

From sorting out who gets what when it comes to property and assets to agreeing on fair maintenance arrangements, every part of the process benefits from a solicitor who takes the time to understand your specific circumstances and tailor their approach accordingly.

If you're looking for legal support that's shaped around your situation, here's how experienced family law solicitors can help:

When it comes to divorce settlements in Ireland, there is no automatic formula for dividing assets.

Instead, the Court looks at whether proper provision has been made for both spouses and any dependent children. That means considering a wide range of factors, from income and housing needs to pensions, childcare and contributions made within the home.

Every situation is different, which is why getting clear legal advice is so important.

From the moment a solicitor is instructed to the final registration of title, conveyancing involves dozens of checks designed to protect everyone involved in a property transaction.

In a market as fast-moving as Dublin's, having clear legal guidance from the outset can turn an overwhelming process into a manageable one.

Whether you're buying your first home or selling a long-held property, our guide covers every stage of the conveyancing process in Dublin:

Mediation is often seen as the less argumentative route through a family dispute, but knowing when it's actually possible isn't always straightforward.

An experienced solicitor can recognise opportunities for cooperation that might not be obvious from the inside, encouraging both parties to work together rather than against each other wherever it's appropriate to do so.
