Divorce With Real Assets at Stake
Businesses. Farms. Pensions. Property. When a marriage ends and substantial assets are involved, the difference between done properly and done cheaply lasts a lifetime — on both sides of the table.
The Money Side of Divorce, Done Properly
Every service below is a specialism in its own right — and every one speaks to both sides: the person who built the assets, and the person married to them.
Divorce with Substantial Assets
The high-value divorce map: proper provision, disclosure, and why asset cases run differently.
Business Owner Divorce
Company shares, valuations, director spouses - liquidity without killing the company.
Farm Divorce
The farm as the marriage’s main asset: keeping the holding intact where the law allows.
Pension Adjustment Orders
Often the second-biggest asset in the case - and the least understood.
Proper Provision & Section 20
The statutory factors that decide everything - and why Ireland has no clean break.
Family Home & Property
The home, the buy-out, the investment properties - options and orders.
Inherited Assets
Inheritances and pre-marriage assets: how courts actually treat them.
Maintenance & Support
Interim, periodical, lump sum - and variation when circumstances change.
Prenuptial Agreements
Not binding in Ireland - and still worth doing properly. The honest position.
International Divorce
Jurisdiction, habitual residence, and the foreign property and pensions.
Judicial Separation vs Divorce
Two routes, different clocks and consequences - which fits your situation.
Hidden Assets & Disclosure
The Affidavit of Means, discovery, forensic accountants - and what non-disclosure costs.
No Automatic Half. No Clean Break. No Formula.
Three truths that surprise almost everyone: Irish law divides by proper provision, not fixed shares; provision can be revisited, because Ireland has no clean-break doctrine; and the outcome turns on the section 20 factors applied to your actual circumstances — which is why anyone quoting you a percentage on day one is guessing. The honest version takes a conversation.
The Credentials Behind the Work
High-asset separation sits at the junction of family law, business, land and succession — and this practice was built at that junction: the Law Society’s Diploma in Mediation (the Mediation Act 2017 requires every solicitor to advise on mediation before issuing proceedings; we advise from the actual qualification), the TEP credential for the trust, estate and succession questions that wealth raises, a dedicated farm practice for agricultural cases, and 45+ years of family law since 1981. Two minutes on the Divorce Asset Navigator maps the issues your asset mix raises; one confidential call maps them properly.
