The latest data on the Family Court and Legal Aid are now in.
The key findings for the Family Court are:
- Nearly half of new cases are divorce cases
- The 28 week time period for dealing with care and supervision applications is now the average for such cases
- There is an upward trend in applications for non molestation domestic violence remedy orders
- The court is seeing applications for Female Genital Mutilation Protection Orders
- Adoption orders are decreasing
- There is an upward trend in applications and orders made under the Mental Capacity Act 2005
- There has been a sharp rise in the number of deprivation of liberty cases
You can catch the full report here.
The key findings for legal aid:
- LASPO continues to affect how legal aid is accessed in civil matters – fluctuations in help workload and shifting patterns suggest parties are finding other ways to access justice or resolution, or simply going without help and guidance
- Most parties engaging in mediation did so for children related matters (64%)
- There has been an upward trend in applications for legal aid involving child abuse and domestic violence
Researching Reform 
due to the multibillion pound industry “In a child’s best interest” we are aware of the 100s of foster and adoption agencies the corruption with the court experts and social workers social services and of course many legal teams who work hand in glove with the LA, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME WONDERFUL CARING LEGAL TEAMS WHO ON THE ODD TIMES HAVE WON THE CASES, but these legal people have to be stopped so what better then to stop legal aid then the cases are all won and more kids sent to be abuse in a system that was put into place by Mr Hitler’s SS “In a child’s best interest”

Legal Aid being made available only where domestic violence is sighted, trouble is if this is the only way to get Legal Aid there will be many False claims going unchecked by those who should!!

Hi Natasha,
I have a question which keeps coming up time and time again in my dealings with domestic violence detainees at the police station who are finding themselves charged with DV offences on the basis of a evidence based ‘victimless’ prosecution where the victim does not support the prosecution.
E.g over this weekend, chap arrested for common assault on partner which is following the victimless prosecution route. Chap charged and bailed to court in the new year with bail conditions not to contact his partner or reside at the family home. The partner of the chap wants him home with her and the 3 children for Xmas. So the state is prosecuting the chap and using the bail act to prevent to infringe upon his art 8 right to a family life over this coming Xmas, the same could be said in respect of the victim because he wants him home and does not support the prosecution.
My question therefore is ‘should the Art 8 rights of both parties come before the states use of the bail act in these circumstances’?
Many thanks,
James

Hi James, I’m sorry, I’m not quite sure what the situation above is, but if the state are preventing him from coming home it is most likely due to safety concerns for family members, perhaps including the partner’s. In my experience, sometimes the abused party doesn’t want to lose the abusive partner, usually because the abused victim is vulnerable, and so they put themselves and sometimes their kids at risk by inviting the violent partner back in the home. The state has a duty to prevent harm in this context.
