Thousands of vulnerable people facing family breakdown could end up without legal representation because of planned changes to legal aid, according to a legal group.
The family Law Bar association says proposed changes to legal aid in England and Wales could slow and cause difficulties in divorce hearings.
The government wants to cut £350m a year from the £2.2bn legal aid bill.
Plans would see areas such as family advice cut from this public funding.
The government believes the proposed changes will encourage more people into mediation and out of the courtroom. For more info see the link to BBC
