Mooncoin sits in south Kilkenny between Kilmacow, Piltown and Mullinavat, and people here who start looking for a family law solicitor in Mooncoin are usually dealing with a separation, a dispute about arrangements for children, or a question about maintenance that has reached the point where proper advice is needed. Richard O’Shea at Family Law Solutions advises clients from Mooncoin and the surrounding south Kilkenny towns, and meetings can be arranged to suit what works for you rather than requiring you to fit around a fixed office routine.
Most enquiries start with a conversation about what has actually happened and what the person wants to achieve, whether that is agreeing a separation, resolving where children will live and when they will see each parent, or sorting out maintenance payments. We listen to the full picture before suggesting an approach, because the right way forward depends on the circumstances and current law, not on a standard template applied to every case.
Some matters are suited to direct negotiation between solicitors, others benefit from mediation, and some need to go through the courts. We explain the realistic options at each stage, including what each one is likely to involve, so that decisions are made with a clear understanding rather than guesswork. Nothing is said about how a family law matter will resolve, since that depends on the circumstances and current law, but you should leave a conversation with us understanding your position better than when you arrived.
Meetings can take place by phone, by video call or in person, and we work around whichever format suits best if you live in Mooncoin rather than insisting on a particular approach. Before a first meeting it helps to have a rough timeline of events, any relevant correspondence, and details of finances or arrangements for children if those are part of the matter. None of this needs to be perfectly organised in advance; we can work through it together.
How quickly a case moves depends largely on how soon we have the information we need and how the other party responds, which is outside our control. Once instructed, we aim to keep you informed about what is happening and what the next practical step is, so a family law matter in Mooncoin does not stall simply because nobody is quite sure whose turn it is to act.
Mooncoin falls within the area covered by Kilkenny County Council, and we act for clients here as well as in nearby Kilmacow, Piltown and Mullinavat, all within a short distance of the village. Family circumstances do not stop at a townland boundary, so we are just as used to advising someone living just outside Mooncoin as someone in the village itself.
Clients from anywhere in County Kilkenny, or elsewhere in Ireland, can get in touch through the Family Law Solutions website, and we arrange how best to meet once we understand what the matter involves.
Not necessarily. Meetings can often be arranged by phone or video call, and in-person meetings can be organised where that suits the matter better. Get in touch through our contact page and we can discuss what works for you.
We advise on separation, divorce, child custody and access, child maintenance, mediation, prenuptial agreements and surrogacy law. The right approach for any of these depends on the individual circumstances, so it is best discussed directly.
The best starting point is a consultation where we go through the facts and explain the general options available under current law. From there you can decide how you want to proceed, at your own pace.
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.
