Family Law Solicitor in Gorey

How we approach a family law matter once instructed

Once you get in touch, the first step is usually a conversation about what has happened and what you are hoping to sort out, whether that is a separation, a divorce, arrangements for children, a maintenance question, or something that needs to go through mediation rather than through the courts. Richard O’Shea sets out the options that may apply to your circumstances and explains, in plain terms, what each one involves. We do not promise a particular result, because the position depends on the facts of your case and the law as it currently stands, but we aim to give you a clear picture of where you stand.

Some matters settle through discussion and mediation, others need more formal steps, and the right path often depends on how willing both parties are to engage. Where children are involved, arrangements for custody, access or maintenance are usually central to the conversation, and we work through what is realistic given your family’s situation. If a prenuptial agreement or a surrogacy law question is what brought you to us, the same approach applies: we explain the legal position and let you make an informed decision about how to proceed.

The information that helps a case move at a reasonable pace

Family law matters tend to progress more smoothly when certain documents and details are gathered early. This can include financial information, details of any existing arrangements for children, correspondence between the parties, and a clear timeline of events. We will tell you specifically what is useful for your situation once we understand what you are dealing with, rather than asking for everything at once.

There is no set timeframe that applies to every case, since this depends on the circumstances, whether matters are agreed or disputed, and the current law. What we can say is that getting advice early, before positions become fixed, generally gives you more options. Consultations can be arranged through the website’s contact page, and we will discuss with you how to proceed from there, including what any work would involve.
