Legal Aid Arrangements

With the amendments in the Legal Aid system, the department offers a ‘fixed fee’ payment scheme to those families who are deemed eligible for financial support but to whom Legal Aid is not available. There is limited Legal Aid available, and Ash Clifford does have a contract with the Legal Aid Agency. We are based in Bridgwater and serve Taunton. To find out if you are eligible for legal aid, contact us for assistance.

Call Us for Legal Advice About Children’s Services 

While it’s always better for children and parents if an agreement on child custody and other child matters can be reached during a divorce, it’s not always possible. We work to avoid conflict and assist with reaching amicable solutions for all children’s legal matters.
