Support more clients, get paid faster & grow your legal practice
As a family lawyer, you play a vital role in guiding your clients through challenging times. However, financial constraints can prevent you from taking on the clients you want, doing your best work, and achieving the optimal outcome due to unpaid family lawyer fees.
Turning away clients, offering pay-at-the-end arrangements, or placing clients on payment plans often results in write-downs, write-offs, and the added burden of chasing unpaid invoices for family lawyer fees. This not only reduces working capital but also strains the client-lawyer relationship and limits the firm’s potential for growth.
Imagine focusing fully on your clients, without worrying about when your family lawyer fees will be paid. This peace of mind lets you dedicate more energy to achieving the best outcomes.
With JustFund you can get paid on time, improve cash flow and expand your client base by offering more flexible payment options.
Trusted by over 1,000 Australian family lawyers, a JustFund line of credit provides clients with the certainty and confidence they need to focus on their matter, and gives you the peace of mind to do your best work.

How It Works
Application
You apply for funding on behalf of your client, taking just 20 minutes, with no impact on their credit score. It’s a simple way to manage family lawyer fees efficiently.
Assessment
We assess the application and reach out to gather any necessary information. It typically takes one week to provide an outcome, helping you manage family lawyer fees smoothly.
Approval
If approved, a line of credit is established for your client. You send the invoices, and we cover the family lawyer fees on their behalf.
Repayment
The client isn’t required to pay any fees until their matter is finalized, and they only repay the family lawyer fees for the amount they’ve used.
“JustFund has been game-changing for my business. I’ve integrated it into my client onboarding process so all clients now have the option for finance.”

Frequently Asked Questions
We are currently only able to establish a line of credit for family law separations that involve a division of property. This can include parenting matters if it is connected to or being run alongside a division of property. Unfortunately, we are unable to support exclusively parenting matters at this time.
You can apply at any stage in the separation process, including at the same time as you engage your family lawyer. You can also apply if you have unpaid legal bills and would like to access funds to support their payment.
We independently assess the circumstances of your separation and your legal entitlement under the Family Law Act. Based on this assessment, we then consider whether the amount of funding required to resolve your matter is consistent with our eligibility criteria. 90% of applications are assessed within 48 hours of receiving all the information we need from you and your solicitor.
You can apply directly, or your lawyer can apply on your behalf. Our online application can be found at https://www.justfund.com.au/apply-now.
We perform a “soft” credit check, which does not impact your credit score. The soft check will be noted on your credit report, recording that we have simply requested a soft credit check on you.
