DivorceLawFor family law attorneys
Divorce law software for the part of the case that isn't on the calendar.
Most legal software was built around calendars and billing. The hard part of a dissolution matter is the financial picture: what exists, what it's worth, who it belongs to, and how it gets divided.

Where divorce matters actually go wrong
These aren't drafting problems. They're information problems, and spreadsheets and email make them worse.
The account nobody listed
A retirement plan from a prior job, a brokerage account, a debt in one spouse's name. If it isn't in the disclosure, it isn't in the agreement.
The number that went stale
Balances change between the financial declaration and the final draft. Someone updates one spreadsheet, and the other three copies keep the old figure.
The version on someone's desktop
Opposing counsel, the financial neutral and your client each hold a slightly different picture of the estate. Reconciling them eats billable hours you can't always bill.

Questions attorneys ask
What is divorce law software?
Software for the substance of a dissolution matter: financial disclosure, assets and debts, income, valuation, support and property-division calculations, and the documents that come out of them. General practice management software focuses on time, billing and calendaring instead.
Is general practice management software enough?
It handles intake, billing and deadlines well, but most products don't model the marital estate. Attorneys end up rebuilding the financial picture in spreadsheets, which is where missed accounts and stale numbers creep in.
Can my client and other professionals work in the same matter?
They should be able to. Look for software that lets you invite clients, financial neutrals, mediators and opposing counsel with permissions you control.
What about confidentiality?
Ask any vendor where data is stored, who can see each document, whether access can be granted section by section, and how data is deleted when a matter closes.
