What is legal aid & how it works?
Legal aid provides a way for individuals with low incomes to receive legal representation and assistance. If you need a private lawyer but can’t afford one, you may be eligible for a legal aid certificate, which helps cover your lawyer’s fees and expenses.
Legal Aid Ontario is funded by the provincial government to offer legal services to low-income individuals. It operates through two main components:
- Community legal clinics: Staffed by family law lawyers, community legal workers, and law students, these clinics provide representation and advice on various legal issues.
- Legal aid certificate program: This program helps cover legal fees for specific types of legal issues, including family law matters.
Areas covered by legal aid in family law
Legal aid covers various family law areas, such as:
- Obtaining or modifying child custody
- Establishing or modifying child support
- Resolving access or visitation disputes
- Negotiating spousal support
- Preventing the sale or destruction of property
- Negotiating the division of assets, like pensions or RRSPs
- Seeking restraining orders or exclusive possession of the matrimonial home
Will legal aid pay for my divorce or child support case?
Legal aid can help cover your lawyer’s fees if:
- You have limited financial resources after paying for necessities.
- Your legal issue falls under the categories covered by legal aid.
When applying for a legal aid certificate, be prepared to provide the following documents:
- Court papers, if applicable
- Identification documents
- Proof of income (recent pay stubs, tax returns, or welfare/employment insurance statements)
- Bank statements and proof of expenses (rent/mortgage, bills, insurance)
- Any unusual expenses, like medical costs
If your application is successful, legal aid will issue a certificate, and you may be required to sign a payment agreement to reimburse some or all of the fees.
