Family Legal Aid and Legal Help for Family Mediation

At DM Solicitors, we are committed to ensuring that access to justice is not limited by financial constraints. We understand that family matters can be emotionally and financially challenging, which is why we offer Family Legal Aid and Legal Help for Family Mediation to those who are eligible.

Family Legal Aid

What is Family Legal Aid?

Family Legal Aid is government-funded through the Legal Aid Agency, designed to provide financial support to individuals who require legal assistance but may not have the means to cover the full cost of legal services. It is intended to ensure that everyone has access to legal representation and advice when facing family law issues.

Who Is Eligible for Family Legal Aid?

Eligibility for Family Legal Aid is determined by a means and merits test. The means test assesses your financial situation, including your income and savings, while the merits test examines the strength and importance of your case. If you meet the criteria, you may be eligible for financial support to cover legal costs related to:

- Divorce and Separation: Including property division, and financial settlements.

- Child Arrangements: Ensuring the best interests of your children are protected.

- Domestic Abuse Issues: Seeking protection orders and legal remedies in cases of abuse, including non-molestation orders and occupation orders.

Legal Help for Mediation

What Is Mediation?

Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution method that can be highly effective in resolving family law disputes without the need for costly and time-consuming court proceedings. It involves a trained mediator who facilitates discussions between parties to reach mutually acceptable agreements.

How Can Legal Aid Help with Mediation?

If you are eligible for legal aid, we can provide you with legal help during the mediation process. Our experienced family law mediators will ensure that you have meaningful discussions to discuss matters surrounding your divorce, separation, child arrangements, property and financial matters.
