Change to the Assets test
Date created: 27 February 2008
VLA is implementing various strategies to address financial pressures on funding. One of the strategies that applies to all matters relates to changes in the assets test.
The allowable threshold for equity in an applicant's principle place of residence has been reduced to $100,000.
An applicant with equity in excess of $100,000 will not be granted legal assistance. An equitable charge to secure the cost of providing legal assistance will be sought from applicant's who have less than $100,000 equity in their principle place of residence.
For more information on other strategies implemented, see Changes to Family Law funding.
