Today on What A Woman Podcast, we are joined by one of Ireland's leading Divorce lawyers, Helen Collins who has some four decades of experience in Family Law and is an expert in all aspects of divorce and a real trailblazer for women practising law.
We talk about:
- Divorce being a full-blown bereavement
- Why Helen insists all clients have counselling
- The impact of mediation
- How to support children
- How separation impacts property, pensions & inheritance tax
- Why coercive control is still difficult to prove
- Why Divorce Lawyers need Garda protection more than criminal lawyers
- How Helen was a trailblazer as she was the first female solicitor in Cork in the 70's.
Helen is Managing Partner of Wolfe & Co based in Clonakilty. She is a trained Mediator and author of 'A Short Guide to Divorce Law in Ireland – A Survival Handbook for the Family'. She is also the grandniece of Michael Collins which is a story we will save for another episode!
