Separating couples often face an uneven financial playing field—especially where one party controls most of the money or records. Litigation funding through JustFund may help eligible people progress a property settlement when paying legal costs upfront isn’t possible.
What is litigation funding
Litigation funding is financial assistance that can help cover legal fees, mediation fees, valuations and some dispute-related expenses while your matter is ongoing, with repayment typically linked to the outcome.
When might funding help
It may be worth exploring funding if:
- you have limited cashflow but expect a property entitlement
- the other party controls funds or key documents
- valuations or expert evidence are needed to properly identify/value the asset pool
- you need support to negotiate effectively or, if necessary, commence proceedings
What JustFund may consider
In considering your application, JustFund may assess:
- the likely property settlement range and size of the asset pool
- complexity, risks, and timeframe
- whether assets are identifiable and recovery is practical
Key things to weigh up
Before applying you should consider:
- funding costs and repayment terms (it is not free)
- the impact on your net settlement
- application time and document requirements
- whether funding is suitable for your circumstances
