Family Law - wrongful removal of children

I have summarised this case and also included the full judgement if you want to read in more detail:

An application can be made to an Irish Court to have the Court order or declare that a divorce in another country is recognised

The Child and Family Relationships Act 2015 which has been passed by the Oireachtas [but is not yet commenced into law which means it does not come into force until it is commenced] introduces some New Rights for unmarried fathers

Collaborative Law

Mediation can be the best way for spouses to sort out their differences when getting separated or divorced following marital breakdown. 

Mediation is one of a number of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms and is appropriate for many divorce in Ireland and separation cases. Keith Walsh has advised clients to go for mediation as an alternative to court and has advised them while they are in mediation. The following informaiton is provided by the Courts Service of Ireland. 

Woman entitled to late ex-husband’s pension, High Court rules

Wife entitled to separation over adultery of ‘dynamic’ husband

Can the amount of maintenance be changed/varied at any stage?
