"My ex-partner has all The Money , controls all The Money . I have yet to see any of it. He must be all, because the mortgage is a common. He would not agree to anything.
"the sale would also mean that I and my children were homeless. So We Are fighting basically for our safety, and we would be made homeless because we were forced to sell to get our in-house legal support and advice," she told the Bbc News .
Claire had no choice But to represent themselves In Court .
she describes The Experience as "horrible, because I had to speak for myself".
"I was in a really difficult situation. I had to speak out against his barrister, who was a top lawyer. He was able to afford a lawyer and I couldn't. "
Despite that, she managed the non-molestation and occupation orders.
'I vomited In Court 'Claire returned to court for a second hearing four weeks later, But This Time it was her ex.
"It was the First Time that I saw him, he would be removed from the home. So I knew he was extremely angry. I was horrified and I have no legal advice or assistance. When I Heard his voice it made me physically vomit In Court .
"The Judge told him to leave his attorney, you have Some People who Help Me to get rid of the vomiting and you Give Me a drink of Water . "
Claire is a challenge, The Rules of The High CourtClaire has to legal aid for Proceedings about arrangements for your children, and to respond, in order to force your ex the application, a sale of their home.
your request for Aid Agency was rejected by the Legal, and is contesting the decision of The High Court.

"It means that the same person can be destitute enough to Universal credit, But not destitute enough, Even if you are the victim of Domestic Violence to legal aid and to protect them from their perpetrators," says PLP attorney Katy Watt, who Claire represents.
Ms Watt also points from such investments is often "dead" victims of Domestic Violence , in that, "Even if you have equity on paper, this trapped Capital . They often have no way to access them. The sale involves getting the permission of the person who have been abused".

In February 2019, the Ministry of justice Promised to review the conduct of a review "the effectiveness of protecting the means-testing arrangements to be appropriate, access to justice, particularly in relation to those who are vulnerable".
The review would include the Promised views of the Capital thresholds of victims of Domestic Violence , the MoJ.
attorneys argue that The Rules restrict the access of women to justiceThe review is Not Yet completed 15 months later.
"Unfortunately, I Am sure that cases like Claire says, each individual day," her lawyer, Jenny Beck , whose company Beck Fitzgerald is working "pro bono" for you.
"The current rules mean that one in five women about the benefits and suffering from abuse of process to receive aid, and is the face of the terrible task that.
"The judiciary should be accessible to all, and this undermines both access to justice and the rule of law. "
Many family Lawyers believe that the incidence of Domestic Violence and deaths resulting from them, to rise during the lockout, The Need for non-means tested legal aid for the victims is urgent and overwhelming.
