PILE LOCKDOWN ON top of a relationship already stretched to the limit and the end result is marital disaster. I worked as a family lawyer for two decades.
I met a lot of people going through the worst of times. Witnessed a lot of broken dreams. A lot of broken people.
I never met a client who expected their marriage to end. No bride walked up the aisle in her stunning white bridal gown anticipating a costly four-day divorce trial (yes, it is actually called a trial) at the end of her marriage. ....

Increased delays in judicial separation and divorce cases highlights the urgency of family court reform – Madigan
8th April 2021 - Josepha Madigan TD
Minister for Special Education and Inclusion, Josepha Madigan, has called for the drafting of the new Family Court Bill to be prioritised so that separating and divorcing couples can avoid experiencing further delays.

A society committee said some family law proceedings initiated as far back as 2019 had stalled. A key issue is a lack of case progression hearings at Circuit Court level, where the vast majority of divorce and judicial separation matters are heard.
These are hearings conducted by a county registrar where procedural matters are dealt with, such as ensuring full financial disclosure has been made by the parties.
“While the courts did stay open to deal with emergency family law matters, like domestic violence, there are absolutely huge delays in terms of getting judicial separation and divorce cases heard and resolved,” said solicitor Helen Coughlan, chair of the Law Society’s family and child law committee. ....
