Flexible Legal Financing for Family Law Matters
Your Lawyers Turner Riddell Hervey Bay has proudly partnered with JustFund to offer our clients greater financial independence, particularly through family law litigation funding. For some clients it can be a struggle to afford legal fees and disbursements, and limited access to funding sometimes means the settlement process stalls and clients get stuck. This partnership enables our clients to access the legal assistance they deserve to settle their family law matters and move on with their lives without the burden of immediate financial constraints.
The first 30 minutes is free, whether or not you appoint us.
Our financing partner
Who is JustFund?
JustFund provides an innovative new approach to helping clients pay legal bills. They are Australia’s first and only dedicated family law finance provider. They work with leading family law firm partners across Australia to offer assistance with legal fees. This is a game-changer for those in a financially difficult position.
People struggle with accessing legal services for many reasons. For example, a financially dependent spouse experiencing family violence may seek assistance removing themselves from that environment. However, their financial dependence severely limits their options.
JustFund takes the stress out of seeking financial relief. They offer a flexible and affordable line of credit to cover legal expenses and disbursements during your separation and you can apply at any stage of the settlement process. Their services simplify access to legal funding for financially disadvantaged parties.
Step by step
Here is How it Works
-
Application
Apply directly to JustFund.com.au, it takes just 20 minutes, is free to do so and there is no impact on your credit score.
-
Assessment
JustFund will assess your eligibility, based on essential information such as the amount of funding required relative to the amount you are likely to receive from your property split. You will typically receive a response within a week.
-
Approval
Once approved, JustFund will set up a line of credit for you. Your family lawyer will send invoices to you, and JustFund will cover them.
-
Eligibility
JustFund will provide a line of credit to individuals negotiating a property split as part of their separation. This can include parenting matters if it is connected to, or being run alongside a property split.
-
Repayment
Repayment isn’t necessary until your family matter has been resolved. You’re only required to repay the credit you used as a lump sum.
Who it can help
What is Your Family Law Matter?
JustFund’s services only cover matters related to property settlements. Unfortunately, JustFund cannot cover cases that only involve parenting arrangements. However, if you’re organising parenting and property matters simultaneously, JustFund can assist.
Are there eligible assets?
JustFund can only approve funding for clients with sufficient equity in their asset pool. JustFund can account for the following assets:
- Real estate.
- Funds in a solicitor or conveyancer’s trust account pending an agreement.
- Independently valued businesses.
Other relevant factors
- How much credit is needed relative to the amount expected from the settlement.
- How the client will repay the credit.
- Any issues that may limit a client’s ability to make repayments.
You can take a quick two-minute survey if you’re unsure whether you meet these requirements.
