It is very common for clients to find it problematic to meet their legal fees at the beginning of their family law matter , especially where:-
- One or both parties are asset rich but income poor;
- One party is the main breadwinner and whilst they have the ability to meet their legal fees from their income or resources, the other doesn’t;
- There is equity in a home or other more liquid assets that could be used to fund legal fees, but can’t be accessed, either owing to borrowing capacity or the other party has frozen the accounts/redraw facilities;
- A legal fee funding arrangement or other loan is unavailable, for whatever reason, to the party.
In certain matters, we are able to offer our clients deferred payment arrangements.
This provides our client’s with the right to defer their legal fees until a later date, either when they are able to access an interim settlement or until the conclusion of their matter.
We other a free consultation and a no obligation assessment of your case to determine whether you might be a candidate for a deferred payment arrangement. Please phone our office to further discuss.
