Everything you need to prepare your custody case

From a pile of raw documents to a court-ready outline — for initial divorces and modification cases alike

Smart document ingestion

Import PDFs, images, emails, and DOCX files. Built-in OCR handles scanned documents and screenshots automatically.

Judgment parser & key issues

For modification cases, AI parses your custody order into structured obligations. For initial divorces, define key issues manually or let AI suggest them from your documents.

Timeline builder

Automatically extracts dated events from all your documents and builds a chronological timeline with category filters.

Violation & evidence detection

For modifications, compares your evidence against the order's obligations to flag violations — with the source passage attached. For initial cases, finds evidence for your key issues.

Pattern & theme analysis

Groups findings into recurring patterns or key themes with frequency counts, so a repeated problem reads as a pattern — not a list.

Court-ready outline export

Generates a formatted .docx outline — hearing prep or mediation prep — with an executive summary, analysis, and evidence index.
