There is no longer the availability for legal aid for the majority of family cases however there are matters with an exception to this, including matters involving social services, domestic abuse, or child abduction.
There seems to be a belief amongst the general public that legal aid or other funding options are no longer available. This is not the case.
The legal aid family law team specialises in supporting you when difficulties arise in your relationships and include separation/divorce, financial settlements, plans for your children or children within your family, protection from domestic abuse, and advice when social services have raised concerns regarding your children.
We have specialist lawyers in these and other areas of family law to ensure a high quality of service is delivered with care and understanding. This includes members of specialist panels approved by the Law Society.
In cases of domestic abuse, our team of specialist and experienced family lawyers are able to help and support victims and children to get the protection that they need. We work closely with local refuges and organisations such as Harbour and My Sister’s Place who offer advice, support, and safety to victims of domestic abuse.
In cases where Social Services may become involved with your family, we can provide advice and support from our specialist team, including representation at court if needed.
Needing the advice of a solicitor can be daunting and upsetting, especially when it involves your family. You need the advice and expertise of a trusted team to guide you through your case, offering a helping hand and sometimes a shoulder to cry on.
