What's with the baby horses?
The Legal Aid Board provide a terrific service. The solicitors do nothing other than family law, spend a lot of time in Court and are often able to offer a far superior service than your average domestic solicitor. PLUS this will go before a Judge / Court for hearing and if it as plain as is stated that the husband has loads of dosh that he is deliberately keeping from the wife, that will be clear. And the appropriate orders will be made.
Which is why it might be hard to persuade any solicitor to take the case on without real proof. Plus , as stated above, since costs are seldom awarded in family law cases, often the wife will be reluctant to pay a solicitor out of her settlement.

In my own experience there is seldom as much dosh as the wife thinks there is - or it's not obvious, or it's not traceable, or, in fact, sometimes it just does not exist.

I had wondered about this before. If the "public patient" was at a big disadvantage to the "private patient". But it seems not.
Ok, understand now.if you don't win your case you don't have to pay the solicitor his costs
Indeed you would; but it took at court case at the European Court of Human Rights to have legal aid made available for family law cases in the first place.You would have imagined that the playing field would somehow be levelled: the court insisting that if one side can hire privately, then funds must be released from the "marriage assets" to enable the other side to do same
