Naas is the county town of Kildare, and many of the people who search for a family law solicitor in Naas are dealing with a separation, a dispute over access to children, or another change in family circumstances that needs careful, unhurried advice. Richard O’Shea at Family Law Solutions advises clients from Naas and the surrounding area, with the firm’s offices based in Dublin and Kilkenny. The first step is usually a straightforward conversation about your situation and the options open to you.
When a client first contacts us about a family law issue, we spend time understanding what has happened, what matters most to them, and what they are hoping to achieve. That might mean talking through a separation, working out arrangements for children, or looking at how finances and property should be dealt with. We explain the realistic options at each stage, which can include negotiation between solicitors, mediation, or, where agreement cannot be reached, an application to court.
We do not promise a particular result, because no family law matter is identical and the right approach depends on the facts and the law as it applies to your circumstances. What we do offer is a clear explanation of the process, honest answers to your questions, and practical steps you can take next. Many matters settle through discussion and agreement rather than through a court hearing, and we will talk you through what that might look like for you.
Family law matters often move at the client’s own pace, but there are a few things that help us advise you properly from an early stage. Depending on the issue, that might include details of your marriage or civil partnership, information about any children involved, income, property and debts, and copies of any correspondence already exchanged with the other party. You do not need everything ready before your first conversation with us, but gathering what you can beforehand tends to make that meeting more useful.
Because clients contact us from Naas and from across County Kildare and beyond, meetings can be arranged by phone or video call, or in person at one of the firm’s offices, whichever suits you better. We work through the contact page on the website to set up an initial conversation, and from there we agree how best to keep things moving at a pace that works for your situation.
Naas sits within County Kildare, with Sallins about three kilometres away, Caragh around four kilometres off, and Clane roughly eight kilometres further on. We advise clients across this part of Kildare, whether the family matter started in Naas itself or in one of the towns nearby, and the area falls within Kildare County Council for anyone whose case touches on local authority matters alongside the family law issue.
Because we work with clients from across the county and beyond, where you live does not limit the family law advice available to you. What matters is understanding your circumstances properly and setting out the options clearly, which is something we can do for clients in Naas just as readily as for clients closer to our offices.
Not necessarily. We can arrange an initial conversation by phone or video call, and discuss whether an in-person meeting at one of the firm’s offices suits your situation better. The right approach depends on what is practical for you.
It helps to have any relevant documents to hand, such as details of children, income, property or existing correspondence with the other party, but you do not need everything prepared in advance. We will let you know what is useful as your case develops.
The best starting point is to get in touch through the contact page on the Family Law Solutions website. From there, we can arrange an initial conversation to understand your circumstances and talk through the options available to you.
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.
