Hello there, definately go to citizens advise bureau they are really helpful.
Also it might not be a bad idea to register with the Legal Aid Board if you are going down the legal route. Again the Dept of Family and Social Affairs website is pretty comprehensive.
Its a long road, but dont lose heart. You will get there in the end. Good luck.

There is an active "separation" board on www.rollercoaster.ie which you might find helpful too. Sorry about this.
