Legal Aid Divorce Solicitor for Domestic Abuse

2 replies

LavenderFieldds · 26/03/2026 11:35

Will shortly commence divorce proceedings. I had a bad experience with a local legal aid solicitor who clearly doesn’t like doing legal aid work. It dented my confidence even further.

Can I go to any legal aid solicitor anywhere in the country, or do they need to be local enough for me to go in person?

Recommendations welcome. I’m in Wales.

I have two degrees including a quasi legal degree, so I’m quite capable of understanding/contributing to the process, but the abuse has really flattened me and I need someone supportive.

You need to instruct someone local. they won't want to have to travel to a court local to you, and you won't want to travel half way round the country to attend court.

Thanks, that’s what I was wondering.
