Look up irish divorce services.com. you can do a diy divorce is you both agree to divorce each other. Or the family law courts in dolphin house dublin 2 might be able to help if theres disagreement between both parties. I hope this helps you and i wish you the very best of luck. It can be emotionally draining and tiring but worth it in the end xx  |

"This diy divorce is that just if both parties are in Ireland?  "
Not sure. But they did everything for her all the paperwork. All she had to do was show up in court. |

If you can agree terms amicably between you first, it will minimise time, stress and expense regardless of whether or not you get the services of a solicitor. If either or both of you have considerable assets, you should definitely use a solicitor. |

As far as I know the other person not being in Ireland only has to be notified. The divorce will go through anyway. (I talked to a few women in the court while I was waiting and some of their hubbies were abroad, some just didn't show up) basically they can't keep you married to someone just because they don't attend. |

I agree somewhat on this.. As even with solicitors involved it can get dirty. My dad agreed to everything at the divorce hearing. Then after he refused to leave the house despite being court ordered to. Took 15 months and numerous court visits to have him evicted. Finally she won though. |

You know it wasn't stubbornness.. I was sitting waiting for her one day and he sat on the bench behind me not realising I was there and he was talking to some random women and he told her he was just doing it to get at her and he'd leave eventually when she cracked.. The judge finally said either be gone by next Friday or I'll send the Garda to bring you to mountjoy. He's just a pig  |

My advice for what it is worth,is if at all possible avoid using a solicitor. A friend of mine a few years back was offered a settlement by her ex husband.She discussed this with a solicitor who told her he could get her a much better deal.
Two years later after a lot of hassle for her,she was awarded exactly what the ex had offered, and ended up with a solicitors bill for twenty thousand.
I presume in defending,the ex`s fees were much the same.All that, and this was a couple that weren`t what you would term well off or anywhere near it |

This is why I advised agreeing stuff between you before approaching a solicitor. Unfortunately people tend to let bitterness and greed get in the way of commonsense. |
