Family Law

The area of Irish Family Law has grown in recent years, particularly with the introduction of the Family Law (Divorce) Act, 1996. At Timothy J. Hegarty & Son, we aim to provide a personalised Family Law service tailored to the needs of our clients. All too often, the break up of the family relationship can be painful and acrimonious.
