Legal aid – campaigning for fairness for families

Resolution and other leading organisations and charities are calling for the legal aid cuts currently before Parliament to be amended to avoid huge unfairness to families.

The current Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill will massively reduce access to justice for the most vulnerable – including parents who want to stay in contact with their children after divorce; children who could lose contact with one of their parents or suffer unfair financial arrangements that harm their upbringing; victims of domestic violence who need legal protection; and spouses who need help to obtain a fair financial settlement on divorce that will keep them off benefits.
