Funding Your Divorce

Even for those who are relatively well-off, accessing joint assets during separation can be difficult—so where does the money come from to fund your life, legal expenses and basic needs in the meantime?

Ben and Heather are joined by Amanda Kerdel from JustFund, Australia's leading provider of family law and estate finance, to discuss the options available for funding your divorce or separation.

Topics covered include:

• Costs - what are the common expenses, and what's a ballpark range for typical separation costs?
• Shared assets - can these be used, and what may prevent the use of shared assets
• Borrowing from family/friends/banks - the pros and cons
• Litigation finance:
• Heather and Amanda share stories of how litigation finance is helping people to achieve justice
