Stopping Ex's Legal Aid

Prior to my ex and I separating like many couples we disagreed and raised our voices, we were both equally as bad as each other. During this period she played purposely creating situations where I took the bait, recording what I said. This gave here the ammunition required to claim legal aid. Since then I have faced false accusations and unreasonable actions which have been noted in court.Β It is obvious she is the unreasonable party and at times showing elements of hostility.

My point being, knowing there is no financial consequence to her actions and demands the luxury of legal aid is adding fuel which definitely is not in the best interest of our daughter. Does anyone know, when, or how legal aid will or can be stopped?

Hi

I went through all this with my x, who got legal Aid for over 2.5 years. It stopped once Solicitors ran their uses, or, in my case, they wanted a Trust drawn up. This was great from my point of view as they could see that she was fighting her system at her own game, allowing her to run up legal bills, which she would have to pay once FHM sold.

The long and short of it is that I only used a Solicitor as I felt fit, but I took on hers in a fight as they are only a go-between running up costs on her side.

They hit a dead end, so Trust was the only option Yes, it cost me, but in fact, it saved me thousands in the end once signed, she had no more uses for them.

hi, legal aid can be stopped if a person made a fraudulent claim, e.g having high income job, or high amount in savings, but not disclosing it to LA agency. it would need to be reported to them for investigation.

@dadmod2 I'm 100% within agreement but my x got away with it hiding money(It happens) court goes by what there Solicitors say through parents and yes Solicitors did the checks years later she has no one to turn too πŸ™‚ Karma bites hard

It's also difficut to fight LAid if given..
