My now boyfriend left his wife. They have done nothing about a seperation or divorce up until now. There is one child involved and she wants to have full custody. How can he get a quick divorce and have joint custody of their child?

If he wants partial custody.. and she is wanting full custody.. there is not going to be quick divorce because they're probably going to fight over the belongings and have a long custody battle for the child.. This could go on for years. Unless the both people are keen on wanting a quick clean break (which im thinking isn't whats happening in your case) then that's probably the only way a couple would get divorced quickly. sorry.

There is no such thing as a quick divorce in Ireland. The process takes a minimum of 4 years, as the couple must prove that they have been living separately for 4 out of the previous 5 years. They must also prove that there is no chance of reconciliation, which usually means that they must have attended marriage counselling or a similar conciliation process. Finally, they will need to have determined what will happen about custody - again this is usually done through a family services agency if the couple can't agree. when al of those conditions are met the case will go before a judge and if the judge is satisfied that all conditions have been met, s/he will grant a divorce decree.
