Family Law Litigation Funding

A JustFund Line of Credit for Family Law Matters

We understand that when you are navigating a separation or divorce, you are often required to financially cover more than just legal fees. At the time of separation, people are often put in a position where they become solely responsible for meeting their living expenses and other debts, such as rent or mortgage repayments, utilities, bills, insurance, and childcare or school fees, whereas, prior to separation, these were often paid from joint funds.

That’s why we have partnered with JustFund to assist our clients in accessing a flexible line of credit to cover legal fees and expenses related to separation until their family law matter has been resolved.

JustFund removes the financial pressure in the first instance so that you can focus on the outcome that matters most.

The JustFund line of credit is available to eligible clients who need assistance with their property settlement. Although JustFund is not available for matters only involving a parenting dispute, if you are attempting to resolve both your property and parenting matters simultaneously, JustFund can assist. 

Eligibility is not based just on income or credit scores. The assessment is based on the assets and your likely entitlement.
