    Hi there,
    I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience of divorcing someone that lives abroad?
    I have applied for legal aid and I am on a waiting list for a solicitor but I was hoping someone on here might have some personal experience?
    Thanks.

    Why did they have a lawyer abroad?

    If you live here I believe that you can issue proceedings here and once you are able to serve that person, or demonstrate to the court that you made all reasonable attempts to serve that person, you can get your divorce here. It is often advisable for you to be the applicant - which means you initiate the proceedings and they are within the jurisdiction of the Irish courts. For you that cuts out the prospect of travelling abroad and dealing with a legal system you know nothing about.

    If your wife is from a European country such as latvia Estonia,Lithuania etc, it is easy to have contact,with an online situation and they do the necessaries for u,how divorce in ireland take very long time and there with 6-10 months u get divorce.and it also depends on the nature of your case,if ur case include properties issues and kids u will have to travel,other u dnt need to,the lawyer represent you there,they do everything for you and even all document u post to them and also they will send you contract by mail.
