Courtown sits on the north Wexford coast, and people here who start looking for a family law solicitor in Courtown are usually facing a change in their family circumstances rather than a straightforward legal query. Richard O’Shea at Family Law Solutions advises clients from Courtown and the surrounding area on separation, divorce, custody, access, maintenance and related matters, with clients able to get in touch through our website wherever they are based.
Most people who contact us are not yet sure whether they are dealing with a separation question, a divorce question, or something narrower such as arranging access to children or sorting out maintenance. That is a normal starting point. The right path depends on how long a couple has been living apart, whether there are children involved, and whether both people are able to agree the broad shape of arrangements or need help working that out through mediation.
Other questions come up just as often: what paperwork is needed, whether a separation has to go through court, how a prenuptial agreement is treated if things change later, or what happens with property and finances. We would rather talk these through with you directly, because the answer in each case depends on the specific circumstances and current law, not on a general rule that applies to everyone.
Before any meeting, we try to get a clear picture of the basic facts: how long the relationship has lasted, the living arrangements for any children, and what documents already exist, such as previous agreements, correspondence, or financial records. Having even a rough version of this ready saves time and lets us focus the first conversation on your actual options rather than on background detail.
From there, we set out what the realistic next steps look like, whether that is a mediated agreement, a formal separation, divorce proceedings, or arrangements around children and maintenance. We explain what each route generally involves and what we would need from you to move it forward, so that you are making decisions with a reasonably full picture rather than guessing at what comes next.
Courtown is close to Gorey, around 6 km away, with Ballycanew about 7 km off and Killinierin roughly 10 km further on. We work with clients across this part of north County Wexford, as well as further south towards Wexford town, on separation, divorce, custody and access, child maintenance, mediation, prenuptial agreements and surrogacy law.
Wherever in County Wexford you are contacting us from, the way to start is through the contact page on our website, where you can set out briefly what is going on and arrange a time to discuss it properly with Richard O’Shea.
Arrangements can be discussed once you get in touch, and the right format for a first meeting depends on your situation. The best way to find out what suits you is to contact us through the website and raise it directly.
This depends on your circumstances, including how long you have been living apart and what you and the other party are able to agree. We would need to discuss the details with you before giving guidance specific to your situation.
It helps to have a rough timeline of events, details of any children involved, and copies of relevant documents such as prior agreements or financial records. You do not need everything organised before contacting us, but having the basics noted down makes the first conversation more useful.
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.
