For many couples in Ireland, and around the world, the past year or two has put an incredible strain on relationships. While most will be able to work through their issues and come through the other side, for some, separation and divorce may be the only viable option.

It's recently been reported there's been a massive increase in people seeking legal advice in relation to both separation and divorce, but navigating the ending of a marriage can be stressful, lonely and scary.
