Legal aid is also known as public funding. It is possible if you are on a low income or receive benefits and have little or no savings that you will be eligible for public funding. We will be happy to discuss this with you without charge and do a preliminary assessment.

Public Funding is available for disputes concerning children whether it be child residence, child custody, child contact, child access, child abuse, child protection, child care, child support or child maintenance. We will be able to advise you if it is available in your particular circumstances.

Public funding is always available to parents or others with parental responsibility where the local authority brings care proceedings .
