I need information on how isle of man or manx law works in respect of divorce

Dear Wallace,

In response to your search for information, I have found three web
sites that may be of particular interest to you.  All three deal with
Isle of Man divorce laws.

"In Ireland, the Divorce Act requires that (a) the parties have lived
apart for at least four of the five years before proceedings are
issued. This does not necessarily mean that they were living in
separate houses; (b) at least one of the parties is domiciled in the
Republic of Ireland or has lived there for a year before starting the
action; (c) there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation and (d)
both parties, as well as any children, are properly provided for." 
(http://www.international-divorce.com/irishdivorce/).

This web site offers key points in International Divorce as well as
specific information regarding Irish Divorce laws.

The second site, takes it information from the Irish Statute Book
Database 1922-1998.
(http://193.120.124.98/ZZA24Y1986S5.html).

I was able to obtain the phone number and address of the Civil
Registry for the Isle of Man:
Civil Registry at Deemsters Walk
Bucks Road
Douglas
IM1 3AR
Isle of Man
Phone: +44 (0)1624-687039

I was also able to locate a lawfirm based in the Isle of Man. 
Mann & Parners, "Advocates, Solicitors and Attorneys - An Incorporated
Legal Practice"
( http://www.mannandpartners.com/lawyers.asp?type=1 ).

I have provided an email address of one of the lawyers who specializes
in Private Client, Family Law, Matrimonal Law, Divorce, etc.
Her name is Marie Ashworth: MarieA@mannandpartners.com

I thought their information might be particularly valuable as they are
established in the Isle of Man and would be well acquainted with it's
laws as well as Manx laws.

I hope this information was helpful.  Please let me know if there is
anything further I can do for you.

Thank you,

All the information submitted was readily available and did not
enhance or provide myself with anything I was not already familiar
with.

This might help        http://www.international-divorce.com/irishdivorce/

Forget about these answers, I don't know what these guys were
thinking.  The Isle of Man is a part of the United Kingdom, not
Ireland.  Irish law is not applicable to the Isle of Man.  Two
different countries.  Two different sets of laws.

UK law is weird if you are unsuspecting as the state is split into
several region of juristiction, a federal type of affair.  I don't
know how divorce applies to the Isle of Man.

A quick look around got these:

But forget about Irish law, it has not relevance to the Isle of Man.
