Not if you still reside in Ireland, will have to wait for 5 to 7 years separation before divorce is settled.
You must be separated or living apart for 4 of the last 5 years at the time of application.will have to wait for 5 to 7 years separation before divorce is settled

Whilst I can understand wanting to know all the practicalities... it's a bit depressing that you're researching about divorce when ye are not even married yet.
Thanks for your reply!
So, if a recently married Spanish couple comes to Ireland to live, both become resident in the country and 1 year later they want to divorce... if I understood well they cannot divorce because they both reside in Ireland?
Another example, if one day I receive inheritance money from a Spanish relative, will I have to pay inheritance taxes in Spain (where I am from and the money comes from) or in Ireland (where I am resident)?
Thanks
Check the following on europa.eu
Where can you file for divorce/separation?
You can file your request with the courts in the country where:
The court with powers to rule on your divorce is the first court where the request is filed (if it meets the above conditions).
- you and your spouse live
- you last lived together – provided one of you still lives there
- one of you lives – provided you are filing a joint application
- your spouse lives
- you live, if:
If you are not a national, you can file only if you have lived there at least 1 year immediately before filing
- you have lived there at least 6 months immediately before filing and
- are a national of that country.
- both you and your spouse are nationals.
The court with powers to transform a legal separation into a divorce (if this is in line with that country's rules) is the court in the EU country that ruled on the legal separation.
Hope that helps.
