What are the fees?

Helpfully, you will not pay anything out-of-pocket until your family law matter is finalised. Any applicable fees and charges are debited to your account and repaid as a lump sum by you upon settlement of your matter. Once approved your line of credit is subject to the following:

• Interest – Variable rate charged on the debit balance of your account.

• Assessment & Administration Fee – This covers our costs of conducting a full legal merit assessment of your family law matter based on your unique circumstances and establishing a line of credit.

• Invoice Processing Fee -  this covers the cost of processing invoice payments on your behalf and reviewing updates on the status of your legal matter. The Invoice Processing Fee is 3.75% of each amount drawn on your account.

• Security Lodgment Fee - We may also pass on the cost of lodging security over a property such as a caveat or mortgage if required.
