C. v. C. [2005] IEHC 276 (25 July 2005)

The court found that the marriage had irretrievably broken down and granted judicial separation. The court valued the assets, including property, business, and non-property assets, and determined proper provision for the respondent and children, taking into account statutory factors. The court held that the applicant's conduct, while hurtful, did not reach the threshold to affect financial provision. The division of assets and maintenance was ordered accordingly.
