Petition Expand eligibility criteria for legal aid to cover all cases for single parents

I would like the Government to ensure that the eligibility criteria for legal aid to ensure that all single parents are eligible, regardless of their income or the case being heard. I think this will help to ensure that it is accessible to everyone who needs it.

More details

I don't believe that single parents have sufficient access to help with funding legal representation. I think that eligibility criteria should be widened to ensure that all single parents able to access legal aid when they need to.
