Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about mediation in Ireland and how we work.

Is mediation required before divorce in Ireland?

Irish law encourages mediation before court proceedings. Our mediation can help you create a comprehensive agreement that you can work with a solicitor to finalize.

Can we mediate if my spouse is in a different country?

Yes. Our Zoom-based service means both parties can join from anywhere in the world. Cross-border cases are something we handle regularly.

Can mediation agreements become binding?

Yes. Once you reach a mediation agreement, you can work with an Irish solicitor to formalize and register it with the courts. We refer all legal drafting and court filing matters to qualified local attorneys.

How much does mediation cost?

$1,695 per person for a structured mediation session. The process is designed to help you prepare, focus the conversation, and leave with clearer next steps for agreement review and local filing questions.

Do you help with custody and guardianship discussions?

Yes. We help parents create parenting plans and discuss child support. For complex custody matters, a family mediation specialist can provide additional support.

How fast is mediation compared to court?

Usually much faster than court. Mediation gives you a focused setting to organize decisions and make progress without waiting months for every conversation, though timing still depends on complexity, outside review, and local filing requirements.

How flexible are scheduling options?

Very flexible. We offer early morning (US Eastern time) and late evening slots to accommodate Irish and other international timezones comfortably.

Important: Mediation helps you reach agreements on the practical issues in your divorce. For legal matters such as drafting final documents, understanding jurisdiction-specific requirements, filing with courts, and ensuring compliance with Irish family law, we recommend working with a qualified Irish solicitor. Our role is to facilitate your agreement; legal and court filing matters require local legal expertise.
