Child Custody - How To Know If You Are Eligible For Legal Aid

How do I know if I am eligible for legal aid?

To know if you are eligible for legal aid for public funding, a good place to start would be to look at the website for the Legal Services Commission, what used to be the Legal Aid Board, and they've got some quite useful information that can help you decide. And the other option is to speak with a solicitor who does public funding work who will be able to help you through the rights and give you an understanding about whether you are likely to be eligible. Again, you can find those solicitors through the Legal Services Commission website. Another option would be through the family law group Resolution. Resolution is a group of specialist family lawyers all of whom subscribe to a code of conduct which is intended to ensure that these sort of matters are dealt with constructively. The Resolution website contains details of those lawyers that are members and it also says those who do publicly funded work, so it can be a quite a good place to start.
