People in Newtownmountkennedy searching for a family law solicitor are usually facing a change in their personal circumstances, whether that is a separation, a question over access to children, or a decision that needs proper advice before anyone commits to anything. Richard O’Shea at Family Law Solutions advises clients across this part of County Wicklow, including the towns around Newtownmountkennedy such as Kilcoole, Newcastle and Delgany. You can arrange a consultation through our contact page regardless of which Wicklow town you are writing to us from.
Most clients who contact us from this area are not looking for a long explanation of the law. They are dealing with something specific: a marriage or long-term relationship that has broken down, a disagreement about where children will live or how often they will see each parent, or a question about what maintenance should look like now that circumstances have changed. Some are at the very start of that process and simply want to understand their options before they decide anything.
We also act in matters that come up less often but matter just as much when they do, including mediation between separating couples, prenuptial agreements for people planning to marry, and advice connected to surrogacy arrangements. Whatever the issue, the right starting point is the same: get clear information about where you stand before agreements are made or positions are taken that are difficult to change later.
Getting in touch is straightforward. You contact us through the website, we arrange a consultation, and that first meeting is where we listen to what has happened, ask the questions we need answered, and set out the options that are relevant to your situation. We do not give generic answers at that stage, because family law depends heavily on the facts of the individual case, and the position depends on the circumstances and current law at the time.
It helps to bring whatever documents are relevant and available, such as correspondence about the relationship or the children, financial information if that is part of the issue, and any existing agreements or court orders. You do not need everything organised before you call us. Part of the first meeting is working out together what is needed and what can wait.

Clients can contact us from anywhere in County Wicklow, or indeed anywhere in Ireland, through the website. There is no need to be near either of our offices in Dublin or Kilkenny to arrange a consultation, and we work with clients from this area on the same basis as anyone else who gets in touch.
No. We do not have an office in Newtownmountkennedy, but clients from this area and the surrounding towns can arrange a consultation with us through the website’s contact page. The way the consultation is arranged can be discussed with us once you make contact.
It helps to bring any relevant correspondence, financial documents, or existing agreements or court orders connected to your situation. If you are not sure what is relevant, that is something we can work through together at the first meeting, so do not delay contacting us over missing paperwork.
This depends entirely on the circumstances, including whether both parties agree on the main issues and whether the matter can be resolved through discussion or mediation rather than more formal proceedings. We can give you a clearer sense of timing once we understand the specifics of your situation.
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.
