    I will try to make this as simple as possible,,,,

    Mike & Lucy want to get a divorce

    Whey tried everything to make marriage work, no luck

    Currently separated for 5 years, married 11 years

    No kids, no house, no fighting over anthing

    Mike cheated on Lucy that is main reason for divorce

    Question 1: Can reaon for divorce be – Adultry – Mike cheated?

    Question 2:

    Who should apply, i.e. start divorce proceedings, more importantly who pays for divorce?

    Mike, as he cheated? And it is his “fault” ?

    No such thing as fault divorce in Ireland, so Mike cheating don't come into it.

    Whoever seeks the divorce pays unless you agree to split the costs.

    From hearing family law people at it you would not think we had no fault divorce lol.

    On a bit of a side note, what sort of range of costs are there usually? (not solicitor fees)

    There is no stamp duty on family law proceedings so if they decide to issue themselves the only cost would be registered post in serving the family law civil bill and a small fee for swearing the affidavits..

    If they decide to get a solicitor it depends on what fee is agreed.
