I just wondering if someone could give me some outline advice on the scenario below. I am well aware that to diffinitively explore this, I need to see a solicitor.
Basically I am experiencing significant family difficulties, myself and my wife are married for just over 10 years, are in our early 40s and have 4 kids under 6 years of age. My wife does not work outside the home. We are still together in the family home, jointly owned but things are now very strained.
My aftertax income is about 78K and dropping, I have a contributory defined benefit pension, our house is worth very roughly 500K net (after mortgage is taken out ). We have no other properties. We have joint savings of about 100K. We have no other loans.
What is in rough terms the likely spousal support /child maintenance / pension adjustment likely to be if we split up? My wife clearly cannot work at the moment but could work part time in the medium term but probably does not want to.
I am well aware that family law is "in camera" and that there is a whole range of possible outcomes, even if someone who knows about these things could give me some rough outline/ range of possiblities in advance.
Could someone also suggest a family law lawyer in dublin city centre who might give me a picture of the likely outcomes?
Thank you in advance
