An article published earlier this month identifies a new trend in lawsuit finance: divorce funding. Companies have been around for years which offer to front the costs of a personal injury lawsuit in return for a portion of the recovery, but the foray into the domestic realm is fairly new. The article focuses on a company called Balance Point, which was founded by a woman who initially received an inequitable settlement in her divorce because she had exhausted all her resources and could not keep fighting for a better arrangement.
The article is available on the New York Times website, although only page 1 of the story is viewable without a NYT account.
