FOREWORD by MRS JUSTICE CATHERINE MCGUINNESS
Divorce became available in Ireland for the first time in February 1997 when The Family Law (Divorce) Act became law. Written in clear, easily-understood language, this book explains the new law - how it works and how it ties in with previous legislation concerning separation and nullity (Civil and Church). It covers: The History of Divorce in Ireland, The Options, Civil Nullity, Judicial Separation, Mediation, Barring, Remarriage in Church, as well as the Tax, Property, Custody, Inheritance and other implications of divorce, separation and nullity.
The book also provides a range of sample documents, including: Separation Agreement, Civil Nullity Petition and Citation; Judicial Separation Application; Affidavits, as well as a clear, accessible synopsis of the Divorce Act.
An essential, clearly-written guide for those considering divorce, and an invaluable resource for legal professionals.
