Family Law

The breakdown of a relationship is one of the most traumatic events in a person's life. The emotional trauma is coupled with the significant legal and financial repercussions in a number of areas, from housing and finances, to children and health. In addition, if a separation or divorce also ends a business partnership or company, there are serious financial consequences requiring expert advice.

A person who is going through the breakdown needs honest and practical legal advice from experienced professionals.

At MacSweeney & Company, we advise on all aspects of family law, including the following matters: 

  • Judicial Separation/Divorce
  • Financial matters arising from Judicial Separation/Divorce
  • Separation Agreements
  • Pre-nuptial & co-habitation agreements
  • Property disputes between co-habitees
  • Custody /access to children
  • Maintenance disputes

Our approach to family law matters involves adopting a sympathetic and practical approach in seeking the most sensible and realistic solutions. With a large proportion of judicial separation and divorce proceedings being resolved without court proceedings, we have considerable experience in negotiating and resolving proceedings of this nature.

Equally, our solicitors also have the litigation experience to rigorously deal with any proceedings.
