Once the parties satisfy the period of separation
and state that there is no prospect of a reconciliation and after
the Court has been satisfied that proper provision has been made
with regard to the dependent spouse and child, an order for divorce
can be made.
As regards financial settlement the Court can make a variety
of orders including lump sum, periodical payments, property adjustment
orders and pension adjustment orders.
Orders relating to children can be made.
Most applications are made in the Circuit Court, but more difficult
cases (including ones involving large sums of money) will be dealt
with by the High Court. About 5000 divorces are granted every year
in Ireland.
