Family Law FAQ’s

JustFund is a legal funding option that allows eligible clients to fund their legal fees and repay them at the end of their matter, rather than paying as you go. It exists because family law often arrives at the worst possible financial moment, right when access to joint accounts, savings, or income has been disrupted.

If you qualify, JustFund essentially bridges the gap between needing strong legal representation now and having the funds available later, once your property settlement is resolved or your financial position stabilises. You’re not paying interest out of pocket month to month while your matter is ongoing.

Not everyone is eligible, and it depends on your specific circumstances and the nature of your matter. The best way to find out if it’s right for you is to raise it during your free first appointment. We’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a good fit, or whether a fixed fee arrangement makes more sense for your situation.

The point of mentioning this at all is simple: a lack of funds right now shouldn’t be the reason you accept an unfair outcome.
