Mumsnet legal matters

My solicitor told me that up until now I have been receiving legal help, which later becomes legal aid.

Posting on behalf of my mum who is currently in a tricky situation. She was married to my dad for over 30 years, he worked and she stayed at home and raised the 3 children. Throughout their entire marriage my dad was physically abusive to her and emotionally abusive. The police and social services were involved several times as a result but she never pressed charges due to fear. Anyway fast forward a few years and she finally had enough and asked him to leave, by this point her family knew what was going on and were there to help make sure he left.

I have also posted this in legal matters but thought Id also put it here for all to see. I've been stressing for over a month. My ex is taking me to court to try to get a shared residency order for our ds.. He is receiving legal aid due to the benefits he is on. I on the other hand could not get legal aid due to the fact I owned a house and worked plus rented a room out in my house. Well since yesterday I have just found out that as from the end of this year I will be unemployed and my tenant has just handed in her notice Does that make me eligible for legal aid now too even though I have a property with might I add has a huge mortgage?! I applied for legal aid for mediation, so not sure if the same proccess applies but I was not granted it due to the fact child tax credits pushed my income just slightly over the threash hold. I owned my home also but that wasnt mention in the reasons it was simply the child tax credits. Go to the CAB, or a one hour free consultation with a family solicitor in your area. I had the one hour free and they where very helpfull.

Not for the first time, the British parenting forum went viral on social media. There were questions about Covid and about pregnancy. Relationship problems were shared. Then there was the usual, less serious stuff: questions about baby products, fashion and sex. Mumsnet was founded 22 years ago by two friends who met at an antenatal class: Justine Roberts, a sports journalist, and Carrie Longton, a TV producer. It was intended as a way for parents to pool tips and expertise.
