What is Legal Aid in Family Law?
Legal Aid NSW provides financial assistance to people who cannot otherwise afford a lawyer. It can cover matters such as:
Parenting disputes (care arrangements for children)
Property settlements following separation
Family violence issues (including protection orders)
Child support and spousal maintenance
To qualify, you must meet both a means test (based on income and assets) and a merit test (the likelihood your case will succeed and be the best use of Legal Aid resources).
At Wallen Family Law, we are approved to act on Legal Aid matters and can guide you through every step, including:
Applying for Legal Aid – helping you to complete forms and prepare your application
Explaining your rights in plain language so you feel confident and informed
Negotiation and mediation to help you reach agreements without going to court where possible
Court representation if litigation becomes necessary
Ongoing advice to ensure your Legal Aid funding continues to cover what you need
