Rejected petition Stop legal aid for foreign citizens and only give legal aid to British citizens

Strip a citizen of their British passport, after falsely claiming domestic violence just to be separated from their spouse.
As they think it's more easier that way to get help from the authorities.

More details

Legal aid abuse is rising after the reform in 2013 I believe the reform has encouraged separating couples to make false or exaggerated claims of violence against a partner in order to avoid paying for the cost of a divorce, prompting miscarriages of justice that lead to parents being unfairly estranged from their children.
It is costing the British people too much money
