Family Law Clinic
We run a free clinic for people who need advice and are experiencing financial hardship. We offer one-off advice appointments by phone for family matters, with the support of lawyers volunteering their time. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer ongoing casework or representation.
Our volunteers can advise on most family law issues including:
- divorce & separation
- parental responsibility
- child arrangements
- some financial issues after separation
If you need advice on the following, please contact a solicitors firm:
- care proceedings
- child abduction
- wills & probate
What we do
We will offer you a half hour telephone appointment with a qualified solicitor, barrister or legal executive.
We will take your details and carry out a conflict of interest check with the firm that will be advising. This is done to make sure that they are not representing any other parties involved in your dispute.
Following the appointment, we will provide you with a written summary of the advice/guidance given. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer ongoing casework or representation.
What we’ll need from you
You will be asked to provide a summary of your legal issue and key documents such as court orders.
