Explain the issue you want help with, such as arrangements for children, separation or a financial dispute. Tell the adviser about existing court orders and any immediate safety concern. The documents and funding rules differ between private family disputes and proceedings brought by a local authority.
Confirm the person responsible for your matter, how progress will be explained and whether meetings can take place remotely. Do not send original documents or confidential case details until you have checked the firm’s contact details and agreed how to share them.
This office is listed for Family in the Legal Aid Agency directory dated 9 July 2026. Contract categories describe funded work; they do not confirm that the provider can take your particular case.
For civil legal aid, the provider first checks whether your type of legal problem is covered. A financial assessment may then consider income, savings, property, a partner’s finances and household circumstances. The case may also need to meet a merits test, which looks at factors such as the legal basis and likely benefit of the work.
Some types of proceedings have different rules or exemptions. Receiving a qualifying benefit can simplify parts of the financial assessment, but it does not automatically mean that every service is funded. Depending on the case, you may have to contribute towards costs or repay costs from money or property recovered or preserved.
What civil legal aid covers · Financial assessment guidance · Check civil eligibility.
Bring the documents about your legal problem and any court date or deadline. The provider will tell you which financial evidence applies; this may include recent payslips, benefit information, bank statements, housing costs and details of savings or property. Explain if you cannot obtain a document rather than delaying an urgent enquiry.
No. It identifies a published Legal Aid Agency service category. The provider must confirm that your matter is within scope, that it can accept the case and that the relevant funding tests are satisfied.
Contact a provider offering the relevant category, explain your problem and mention any deadline. The provider can assess the application and explain what it needs. Court Guide does not make funding decisions or submit applications.
Ask whether the issue is capacity, the type of work or funding eligibility. Try another listed provider in the correct category, use the official legal-adviser finder or ask about other advice services. A refusal by one office does not by itself decide whether you qualify.
Rules checked against GOV.UK and Legal Aid Agency guidance on 8 September 2026. This explains the process and is not an individual eligibility decision.
Eligibility rules depend on the legal problem and funding scheme. A provider can explain the assessment that applies. For civil problems, the GOV.UK eligibility service is a useful starting point.
