Navigating family law matters, whether it’s a divorce, property settlement, or parenting arrangement, can be emotionally challenging. One aspect that adds extra stress during these times is the concern about legal fees. At Eliza Legal, we understand that many people find themselves in a difficult financial position when seeking expert family law representation. Your assets might be tied up in property, businesses, or other investments, leaving you without easy access to liquid funds.
To help ease the financial burden, Eliza Legal has partnered with JustFund, a trusted provider of deferred payment solutions for legal services. This partnership allows us to provide top-tier family law representation while offering flexible payment options that align with your financial situation.
In this article, we’ll explore how legal fees in family law matters typically work, the benefits of deferred payment plans through JustFund, and how you can access the legal assistance you need without immediate financial pressure.
How legal fees in family law work
When you engage a family lawyer, legal fees can vary depending on the complexity of your case, the amount of time required, and the services provided. Legal costs in family law matters often cover a range of services, including:
- Initial consultations and legal advice
- Drafting legal documents, such as applications for divorce, consent orders, and parenting plans
- Negotiating settlements between parties
- Representation in court or mediation
- Ongoing legal support and case management
For many clients, especially those going through a divorce or separation, finances are already stretched thin. You may be managing household expenses, supporting children, or facing the need to establish a new living situation. Additionally, your available funds might be tied up in property, joint bank accounts, or other assets that are still in dispute or waiting to be divided as part of the legal process.
This is where JustFund comes in to help.
What is JustFund?
JustFund is a finance company that specialises in providing deferred payment solutions for people who need access to legal representation but don’t have immediate access to liquid funds. This service is particularly beneficial in family law cases, where assets may be locked up during property settlement negotiations or court proceedings.
By working with JustFund, clients can access financing for their legal fees, allowing them to move forward with their case without the stress of upfront payments. The funds provided by JustFund can be used to cover the costs of your legal representation, and repayments are deferred until a later stage when you are in a stronger financial position—often after a property settlement or when liquid funds become available.
JustFund takes into account that many family law clients may have valuable assets but do not have cash flow readily available during the legal process. It’s designed to provide the financial flexibility to ensure you get the legal assistance you need without delay.

- Deferred payment plan: Repayment is typically deferred until your case is resolved, often when you receive a property settlement or access liquid funds. This gives you breathing room and flexibility, allowing you to focus on your legal matter without financial stress.
