Trying to help my mum!

macca.86

Hi Guys, Im a 25 yo whos parents are separating after 27 yrs of marriage. My mum gave up her career to look after us when we were born. We are all trying to help her through this as she has been treated very badly by my dad whom she has dedicated her life to! :mad: the only thing is, we have no idea about any of the legal things! Does she have many rights in a divorce financially? We are so scared he will use money to get to her and leave her with a huge mortgage or nowhere to live! Is there any groups in the north/west of ireland where she can meet people who are or have been through similar things?

Not to sound blunt but citizens advice or Solicitor are always a good place to start in these situation.

OP your Mum has very strong rights/entitlements and she will be protected by the Courts if there is an attempt to deny her these. She just needs to find a good solicitor who specialise in separation/divorce matters ect. Here's some links that I hope will help.

Did you have a look on the Legal Discussion board? Might be some help there too.

Hi ya. Can't imagine what you guys are going through, let alone your Mum, best advice I can give you is to contact the Citizens Advice, they also have access to a solicitor who could advise you and your family as to your next step, It's a free service that won't cost you a penny. They will point you in the right direction. Best of luck.

As Theq47 said, try Legal Discussion or maybe even Personal Issues
