This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. You could start a petition calling on the Government to undo the changes to civil legal aid, which includes family law and domestic violence.

You could also start a petition calling on the Government to reverse its cuts and remove the income thresholds to be eligible for legal aid.
