What Family Cases Qualify for Legal Aid?

Legal aid for family law was substantially narrowed by the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO). Before 2013, legal aid was broadly available for family disputes. Since LASPO, the default position is that private family law matters are out of scope, with specific exceptions.

Cases that currently qualify for legal aid in family law include: cases involving domestic abuse, where the applicant can provide evidence of abuse (including police records, medical evidence, injunctions, social services letters, and a range of other evidence types); child protection proceedings brought by a local authority (public law children cases under the Children Act 1989); forced marriage and female genital mutilation protection orders; cases where there is a risk to the life of the applicant or a child; and certain international child abduction cases. Mediation is also covered under legal aid where parties are referred by a court or where the mediator considers it appropriate.

Cases that generally do not qualify include: most divorce proceedings; private child arrangement order disputes where domestic abuse evidence is not present; financial remedy applications on divorce; most cohabitation disputes; and grandparent contact applications. The Ministry of Justice has conducted a review of civil legal aid and some expansions to scope have been considered, but as at June 2026 the core LASPO restrictions remain in place.

For cases outside scope, applicants can apply for Exceptional Case Funding (ECF) if refusing legal aid would breach human rights. Legal aid is also available in some family cases under a separate legal help scheme, providing initial advice and assistance without court representation.

Where Are Legal Aid Family Solicitors Based?

The 1,522 approved offices are spread across England and Wales but concentrated in major urban centres. London has 197 offices, followed by Birmingham (36), Manchester (26), and Leeds (26). Bristol has 16 approved family legal aid offices, Cardiff 15, and Leicester and Nottingham 15 each.

Despite the relatively large number of offices nationally, capacity constraints are significant. Many family legal aid solicitors operate with long waiting lists, particularly for domestic abuse cases. The LAA's own Provider Survey 2026 was launched to assess market capacity across all categories. The Institute for Fiscal Studies reported in June 2026 that civil legal aid case volumes have fallen 57% since 2012 and that some areas now have no active provider.

How to Get Legal Aid for Family Law

The starting point is confirming whether your case falls within scope. If you are experiencing domestic abuse, you will need evidence of that abuse when you apply. If your case involves a local authority bringing proceedings about your child, legal aid is automatically available in scope. In other cases, use the official eligibility checker at gov.uk before approaching a solicitor.

Once you have confirmed your case is likely in scope, contact a solicitor from the approved list below. The solicitor will carry out a means assessment using your income, savings and assets to confirm eligibility. They will also confirm whether your case passes the merits test - that the case has a reasonable chance of success and it is proportionate to grant legal aid. For domestic abuse cases the evidence gateway simplifies the application process significantly.

You can also use the LAA's Find a Legal Aid Adviser (FALA) service at find-legal-advice.justice.gov.uk, which searches by postcode and category of law. Citizens Advice and local law centres can also direct you to approved providers with current capacity.

Can I get legal aid for a child arrangement order?

Legal aid for a child arrangement order (previously called a residence or contact order) is available in limited circumstances. Since LASPO 2012, private law children cases are generally out of scope for legal aid. However, if domestic abuse is involved and you can provide evidence of that abuse, legal aid may be available. The evidence gateway accepts a range of evidence types including police records, medical evidence, social services involvement, injunctions, and letters from domestic abuse support organisations. Without domestic abuse evidence, you would normally need to self-fund or represent yourself. You can apply for Exceptional Case Funding if you believe your human rights would be breached by refusing legal aid.

Can I get legal aid for divorce?

Legal aid for divorce proceedings is generally not available since LASPO 2012. Most divorce applications are now handled through the online divorce portal and do not require legal representation. However, legal aid may be available for the financial aspects of a divorce where domestic abuse is involved, or for children matters where domestic abuse evidence is present. Legal help, a more limited form of legal aid, may be available to provide initial advice on divorce without court representation. Citizens Advice and law centres can provide free initial guidance. For the full divorce process without domestic abuse involvement, most people must self-fund or use the online service.

What counts as evidence of domestic abuse for legal aid?

The Legal Aid Agency accepts a wide range of evidence to demonstrate domestic abuse for family legal aid purposes. Accepted evidence includes: a relevant conviction or police caution; a relevant protective injunction or undertaking; a copy of a referral by a MARAC (Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference); a letter from a social services department; a letter from a refuge; a letter from a domestic violence support organisation; medical evidence from a doctor, hospital or health visitor; a letter from a health professional; financial abuse evidence; and certain other forms. The evidence must relate to abuse that occurred within the last 60 months in most cases. Your solicitor will advise on which evidence types you have available and how to obtain any you are missing.

Is legal aid available in Wales for family matters?

Yes. The Legal Aid Agency administers civil legal aid across England and Wales. Family legal aid is available in Wales on the same basis as in England, subject to the same LASPO restrictions and evidence requirements. Cardiff has 15 approved family legal aid offices on the June 2026 list. Welsh-language services may be available from some providers. The FALA tool (find-legal-advice.justice.gov.uk) searches approved providers in Wales as well as England.

What is legal aid eligibility and how is it calculated?

Legal aid eligibility for civil matters including family law involves two tests. The means test requires that monthly disposable income is no more than GBP 733 (2026 figure) and that capital and savings are below the relevant threshold. Some capital, including the value of your home in many cases, is disregarded. The merits test requires that the case has reasonable prospects of success and that it is proportionate to grant funding. For family legal aid where domestic abuse is evidenced, the merits test is simplified. Children under 18 are passported through the means test automatically. Legal aid eligibility calculators are available online, and your solicitor will carry out a formal assessment as part of the application.
