Legal Aid Eligibility
If you’re going through a divorce and you’re worried about the legal costs, it’s worth checking whether you might qualify for legal aid. This government-funded support can help cover legal fees for those on low incomes or affected by domestic abuse.
Legal aid is typically available for divorce cases where there is evidence of domestic abuse. To be eligible, you’ll need to meet certain financial and case-related criteria, and provide supporting documentation where required.
