Important information
This website is not a legal aid provider and cannot decide whether you qualify. Only the Legal Aid Agency, or a legal aid provider acting under its contract, can do that.
Family Legal Ltd is not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. This website provides general information about legal aid in England and Wales. It is not legal advice and it is not an official eligibility assessment.
Our other services, and why that matters to you
Family Legal Ltd operates other websites and services. The one relevant here is Mediate UK, a family mediation service that holds a Legal Aid Agency contract and can offer legally aided mediation, subject to eligibility and to the case being suitable for mediation.
We tell you that wherever it could matter, because a site explaining legal aid that also owns a mediation service has an obvious interest, and you are entitled to weigh what we say accordingly.
What we do not do: take payment for recommendations, run advertising, use affiliate links, or write anything differently because of the commercial relationship. How we make money.
Where we recommend a way of finding a provider, we point at the neutral directories first: the Family Mediation Council for mediators and Find a legal aid adviser for solicitors.
The people who write it
Jess Knauf, Director of Client Strategy at Family Legal Ltd, writes the content.
Belinda Atkins, Managing Director of Family Legal Ltd, is the editorial reviewer. Belinda reviews the content editorially. She is not a practising family mediator or a solicitor, and we do not present her as one.
Neither is a solicitor or a barrister. That is why every factual claim on this site is sourced to the legislation, the Legal Aid Agency or GOV.UK, and linked next to the claim rather than in a list at the bottom. You should not need to trust us. You should be able to check.
