Can I Get Legal Aid for Family Law in Middlesbrough?
Depending on the circumstances, legal aid may be available for matters involving domestic abuse, safeguarding and some disputes concerning children. Different rules can apply to public law children proceedings, including cases where a local authority is considering or has begun care proceedings. If you are a parent or person with parental responsibility for a child, legal aid will be available to you. Our family law team can consider the nature of your case and explain whether legal aid may be available. Where it is not, we can discuss alternative ways of funding your legal advice.
Domestic Abuse: Legal Protection and Family Law Advice
Domestic abuse can take different forms and is not limited to physical violence. If abuse or the threat of abuse is affecting you or your children, there may be legal measures available to provide protection.
Our solicitors can advise on options including non-molestation orders and occupation orders, as well as related questions concerning children and living arrangements.
Legal aid can remain available for qualifying domestic abuse cases. We can discuss the circumstances of your case and the funding rules that may apply. Find out more about Legal Aid in Middlesbrough.
