Is there a risk to the farm in my brother's divorce?

Divorce does not automatically mean the spouse is entitled to half of the farm. The law in Ireland is that the court must ensure proper provision is made for both parties and children

They live in a house which is not on the farm but close by. We both have children in their teens who have begun helping on the farm and we would hope that they would take over in the future.

Dear Stephen,
My brother and I are in a joint farming enterprise for many years and the lands are owned jointly by both of us. My brother’s marriage is in difficulty and it appears likely that they may separate of divorce. They live in a house which is not on the farm but close by. We both have children in their teens who have begun helping on the farm and we would hope that they would take over in the future. Is there a risk to the farm if my brother’s wife looks for separation or divorce and what steps could his wife take?
