People in Tallaght dealing with a separation, a custody disagreement or a question about maintenance often want to know whether they can get proper advice without it taking over their working week. Richard O’Shea at Family Law Solutions advises clients from Dublin 24 and throughout South Dublin, and a family law solicitor in Tallaght handling your matter should be able to work around the realities of your job, your children’s routine and whatever else is already on your plate.
Much of the work we do for people in this part of Dublin concerns separation and divorce, often alongside decisions about where children will live, how access will work day to day, and what maintenance arrangement is realistic for both parents. Some clients come to us before anything has been formally agreed, wanting to understand their position before a conversation with a partner turns difficult. Others arrive after an arrangement has broken down and they need it put on a proper footing.
We also advise on mediation where both parties want to try to agree matters without the dispute escalating, and on prenuptial agreements for people planning to marry who want clarity set out in advance. Surrogacy law questions come up less often but do arise, and the advice needed depends heavily on the specific circumstances, so an initial conversation is usually the right starting point rather than trying to work it out from general information online.
The usual starting point is a conversation about what has happened so far and what you are hoping to achieve, whether that is an agreed separation, a resolution on access to your children, or simply advice on where you stand before deciding anything. We will ask you to gather relevant documents, such as correspondence, financial information or any existing arrangement regarding children, so that the first proper meeting is useful rather than just introductory.
How a case develops after that depends on the issues involved and whether matters can be agreed between the parties or need to be worked through more formally. We explain the likely steps as they apply to your situation rather than giving a generic outline, because the position depends on the circumstances and current law, and that is something best discussed directly rather than guessed at in advance.
Tallaght falls within the South Dublin local authority area, and we advise clients here as well as in nearby Knocklyon, Templeogue and Walkinstown, all within Dublin 24 and the surrounding postal districts. Family law issues do not stay neatly within one town, and we find that people living across this part of South Dublin are often dealing with similar questions about separation, children’s arrangements and maintenance, whatever side of the N81 or the M50 they happen to live on.
Wherever you are based in the area, you can contact Family Law Solutions through the website to arrange a consultation with Richard O’Shea. There is no need to travel to a particular office before that first conversation takes place; we will discuss with you how best to proceed once we understand what you need.
Mary Molloy & Company Solicitors has offices in Dublin 7 and Kilkenny, but clients from Tallaght and across South Dublin can get in touch through the website’s contact page to arrange a consultation and discuss the most practical way to proceed.
That depends on your particular circumstances, including whether both parties are willing to engage and how much is agreed already. We can talk through your situation and explain the options, including mediation, so you can make an informed decision.
It helps to bring any relevant documents such as correspondence between you and the other party, financial information, and details of any existing arrangement regarding children or finances. We will let you know what is most relevant once we understand the background to your case.
Taking the first step is often the hardest part. Our team is here to listen, advise, and support you – with no pressure and no jargon. Contact us today to arrange your initial consultation with one of our specialist divorce solicitors in Dublin and Kilkenny.
