About this episode

Karen O’Leary provides practical advice on divorce, separation, and family law in Ireland.

Karen O’Leary is one of Ireland’s best known family and child law solicitors, senior partner and head of family and child law at Caldwell & Robinson Solicitors. Karen shares clear, practical advice on divorce, separation, prenups, cohabitation rights and family law in Ireland. She explains the myth of common law marriage, what happens to the family home, pensions, businesses and finances when a relationship breaks down, and why living together does not give you the same legal protection as marriage. Karen also talks about mediation, protecting your privacy during separation, supporting children through divorce, and why uploading private family law or divorce documents to ChatGPT could get you into serious trouble. A must listen for anyone going through separation, thinking about divorce, living with a partner, or wanting to understand their legal rights before they need them.
