Abstract

•One quarter of all family law litigants in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia are self-represented litigants, the vast majority for purely financial reasons.
•Unbundled legal services offer respite from self-representation for litigants at pivotal, strategic points of their litigation journey.
•Unbundled legal services may enable self-represented parties to optimise their access to legal representation.
