There is a new concept in the handling of divorces that is accepted in a number of states. Funding companies offer to cover the legal costs of litigating the divorces. They pay for the legal services of the party’s lawyer. They also pay for finding hidden assets and maintaining an individual’s lifestyle during the course of the divorce litigation. What do they get for this? They receive a share of whatever is awarded to the litigant by the courts. An example of a company that does this type of work is Balance Point Legal Funding, located in Beverly Hills, California.Instead of accepting a smaller settlement, she entered into an agreement with Balance Point Legal Funding. For a percentage of what she received, they advanced her $200,000 to allow her to live comfortably, as well as litigate her case.
Balance Point Legal Funding is part of a trend. They are part of an industry that currently invests in other people’s lawsuits. This helps plaintiffs in divorces, personal injury matters, medical malpractice cases and other types of litigation to move forward with lawsuits when they would otherwise not have sufficient assets on their own to bring their case to fruition. Balance Point Legal Funding currently has more than one billion dollars invested in pending lawsuits in the United States. The focus of Balance Point Legal Fundings is on divorce cases with marital assets between two and fifteen million dollars.
