A Practical Solution for Funding Your Family Law Matter: Partnering with JustFund
Legal proceedings, particularly family law matters, can be emotionally and financially challenging. The stress of legal fees can make it feel impossible to access the representation you need, especially if you are experiencing financial hardship.
At The Legal House, we understand these challenges, which is why we’ve partnered with JustFund, Australia’s only dedicated family law finance provider that specialises in funding for property settlements.
This partnership provides a compassionate and practical solution to help our clients manage legal fees and expenses related to their property division. With JustFund, you can access an affordable and flexible line of credit, with repayment only required after your property settlement is finalised.
The Challenge of Family Law Costs
Accessing legal services can feel impossible when money is tight, especially for those who are financially dependent on a partner or managing daily living costs during a separation. The financial burden of legal fees can put justice out of reach. Our partnership with JustFund provides a solution for individuals negotiating a property split as part of their separation.
By introducing legal finance early in the process, we can help ensure that no one is denied quality legal representation because of their financial position. JustFund helps individuals who seek to engage an experienced family lawyer but are struggling to afford the legal fees and disbursements for their property settlement matter. While JustFund's services focus on property settlements, they can also provide a line of credit for parenting matters if they are connected to or being run alongside a property split.
What is JustFund?: Your Partner for Family Law Funding
JustFund is Australia's only dedicated family law finance provider. They partner with leading family law firms to help those facing financial hardship access legal representation. The company's mission is to empower a fairer financial outcome for all Australians by providing a flexible line of credit to ease the stressful process of separation. Unlike traditional lenders, JustFund focuses on your unique circumstances and legal entitlement rather than your income, employment history, or credit score. This type of funding can be life-changing for those who are financially dependent on a partner or are navigating a complex separation, as it provides the dignity and support they need.
How It Works
Step 1
Application: You can apply online or call to see how JustFund can help.
Step2
Assessment: Once all the necessary information is received, JustFund determines your eligibility for a line of credit, a process that typically takes one to two weeks
Step3
Approval: If approved, you will receive loan paperwork to sign electronically and a letter of instruction for your lawyer. JustFund then advances the funds needed to cover your legal fees and disbursements.
Step 4
Repayment: The family law fees and any interest are repaid at the conclusion of your property settlement and only from your settlement proceeds. You only pay interest on the funds you actually use.
Who is Eligible for Funding?
JustFund's services are available to individuals negotiating a property split as part of their separation. It is important to note that this funding cannot be used for matters that involve parenting arrangements only. However, if your case includes both parenting and property matters being run alongside each other, JustFund may still be able to provide a line of credit. When assessing eligibility, JustFund considers the amount of funding required relative to the amount you are likely to receive from your property split. The primary goal is to ensure you will retain your share of the family asset pool to secure your future financial position
