Kildare Town lies about 18 km west of Naas, and people here who begin looking for a family law solicitor in Kildare Town are usually facing a change they did not plan for, a separation, a dispute over access to children, or a question about where maintenance stands. Richard O’Shea at Family Law Solutions advises clients across this part of County Kildare and can meet to discuss how the law applies to your own situation.
Most people who contact us are not yet sure whether they need a formal separation, a divorce, or simply an agreement reached through mediation. That decision depends on individual circumstances, including how long a couple has been apart and whether both parties agree on the practical arrangements. We talk clients through the options available rather than assuming one route suits everyone.
Questions about children come up just as often, particularly around custody, access and day to day arrangements once parents separate. Maintenance is another recurring topic, and clients want to understand how it is assessed and what documentation tends to matter. We also hear from people looking into prenuptial agreements before marriage, and occasionally from clients with questions touching on surrogacy law. Each of these areas depends on the facts of the case, and general information only goes so far, which is why a proper consultation matters.
Before we take on a matter, we like to understand the full picture: the family circumstances, any existing arrangements for children, and what documents already exist, such as correspondence, financial records or prior agreements. Gathering this early means the first meeting is used to discuss your situation properly rather than to collect basic facts we could have asked for in advance.
We also explain, honestly, what a case is likely to involve in terms of steps and timing, without suggesting what the eventual outcome will be. Family law matters vary considerably depending on whether both sides are willing to negotiate, mediate, or whether the matter needs to go further. Setting that out clearly at the start helps clients make informed decisions as the matter progresses.
We act for clients from Kildare Town and the towns around it, including Milltown, roughly 6 km away, Newbridge, about 8 km from the town, and Athgarvan, around 9 km distant. Kildare Town itself sits within County Kildare, in the province of Leinster, and clients from any of these areas can reach us through the website’s contact page to arrange a consultation.
Whether your connection to Kildare Town is through where you live, where your family is based, or where the other party now resides, we work with clients across this part of the county and will discuss with you how best to proceed given your own circumstances.
Family Law Solutions does not have an office in Kildare Town itself; the firm’s offices are in Dublin 7 and Kilkenny. Clients from Kildare Town and the surrounding area can still arrange a consultation by contacting the firm through the website’s contact page.
Separation and divorce involve different legal requirements and consequences, and which applies to your situation depends on your circumstances and current law. We can talk through the options at a consultation rather than giving general advice that may not fit your case.
Maintenance depends on a number of factors specific to each family, including income and the needs of the children involved, and there is no fixed figure that applies to every case. We can discuss what information is relevant to your situation during a consultation.
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.
This page is general information, not legal advice. Your position depends on your circumstances and the current law; please get advice on your own situation. In contentious business, a solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement.
