One other question ;;)
If my partner has applied for legal aid based on allegations, and for some reason she gets it granted I am aware there is a 2 teir system
1) Granted for Legal Advice
2) Granted for Court Costs
Will I be notified as to whether she obtains a certificate covering this as in my opinion she is falsely claiming Legal Aid and wish to appeal the descision should it be granted.
I wasn't told until it was asked in court by my solicitor. I was also not told when she came off legal aid until her barrister mentioned it
If an ex gets legal aid based on false allegations which are then proved unfounded does legal aid get stopped for them?
Regards,
Dave
I thought there is an actualy (possibly legal) obligation to declare to the other firm if the client is receiving legal aid. I guess the problem happens when one person is litigant in person
I spoke to the legal aid board as i had concerened that my wife was attempting to recieve legal aid through accusations.
They said if she was making a claim of Domestic abuse she would automatically be entitiled but she still has to be assessed for her legibility. The first being legally, if there were any evidence of abuse such as police reports, any reports from any authorities etc
The second is financial. I knew she was paying for legal advice initially as i made her adjourn the first court hearing as the solicitor she was being represented by was a right batterax, as i went to see her for advice initially and she told me that i had no chance in [censored]. I knew she was feminis and was interested in dealing with femalest, but i made my wife change her due to conflict of interest. I know she was advised because her case is weak to apply through flase allegations and perhaps apply for legal aid.
I wrote to the legal aid board as i knew my wife had a lot of money, and the greedy stingy person she is would perhaps definately not declare this. So i made them aware of every account she had, with bank statement, pay slips, NI number, work details, maternity and assets she owns. I also stated her tendency to lie and make false accusations and what was submitted to cafcass. The key thing is to remain anonymous as info provider. If you dont specify this then you will be notified but the other party will get hold of the information too if they apply for freedom of information to understand why there application was denied, and know that you provided the info. This could make problems down the line and contact could be difficult. Knowing the crappy justice system protecting the idiot everytime, it could be used against you as malice for her not letting you see the child!!!
best to not worry about the other person really, just do enough to prevent them from having unfair advantage as they do already by preventing contact and concentrate on yourself and how you will be a better parent when you get your child.
