Legal Aid

Price & Kelway holds a contract with the Legal Aid Agency and can offer Legal Aid to clients in family cases, subject to eligibility.  

Legal Aid may be available for various matters to include:

  • Divorce 
  • Financial matters 
  • Domestic Abuse 
  • Private Law Children (this often relates to disputes between parents and includes issues such as
    where a child will live and whom they will spend time with) 
  • Public Law Children (where there is involvement from the Local Authority) 

Evidence of Domestic Abuse or Risk of Harm to a Child 

Depending on the type of case that you require legal advice and representation in, you may be required to provide evidence that you have either suffered or are at risk of suffering from domestic abuse or that your case involves a child who has suffered or is at risk of suffering from abuse and is in need of protection.  

Financial Assessment for Legal Aid 

In most cases, we will need to undertake an assessment of your financial means to see whether you will be eligible to receive Legal Aid funding for your case. Evidence of your financial means will need to be provided to us to enable us to carry out the assessment  

If you would like to find out whether you would be eligible for Legal Aid funding, please contact our experienced team at Price & Kelway who can explain to you what information and documents you will need to provide us with so that your eligibility for legal aid can be assessed.
