Galway Divorce & Separations have produced a six-page coloured brochure aimed at couples whose marriage has broken down and who wish to proceed with an express closure to their marriage by divorce or separation.

Couples throughout the country whose marriages have broken down can divorce or separate through mediation saving several thousand euro on legal fees in the process. Galway Divorce and Separations is a new one-stop shop based at Unit 28 Orchard House, Glenrock Business Park, Ballybane, Galway, where couples can obtain a decree divorce or judicial separation in a few short weeks from the courts, and all without either or both spouses engaging solicitors or barristers to represent them.
