Multi-jurisdiction family-law document drafting
From questions
to a clearer first draft.
Choose a filing, answer guided questions, review the assembled document, and pay only when you are ready to generate it.
Step 1
Start with the state.
The selected jurisdiction loads a required legal-details questionnaire for the chosen document. Current statutes, court rules, official forms, and local practices must be verified before filing.

Attorney workspace
Send a guided form request to a client.
Choose the document, provide the return address, and prepare an invitation in your email application. The client answers the tailored questions and returns both the completed inputs and generated draft to you. Your client is never charged. Your firm is billed only after the client completes the form and sends it back to the attorney.
Professional resource directory
Find and verify a private investigator.
Use live licensing and professional-directory sources, then compare candidates for the specific family-law assignment. A listing is not an endorsement and does not replace license, conflict, insurance, or reference checks.

Investigator shortlist
Service-of-process resources
Find a process server or permitted service option.
Select the state, use official and professional sources to locate a server, and compare candidates. The person who may serve, the permitted method, deadlines, and proof required depend on the document, court, party, and current law.
Possible service routes to verify
Questions before hiring or serving
Process-server shortlist
Important: A directory listing is not an endorsement. Verify qualifications, insurance where appropriate, fees, conflicts, identity, and the exact service rule. Never ask a server to trespass, impersonate, harass, violate a protection order, or use an unauthorized method.
State-by-state professional resources
Find qualified family-law professionals and court services.
Choose a jurisdiction and professional category. Start with the court, licensing board, or bar source; then verify credentials, conflicts, scope, fees, reports, confidentiality, and court-appointment requirements directly.
Family-law mediators
Use the official source and verify that the professional’s role matches the service needed in the case.
Family-law attorneys
Use the official source and verify that the professional’s role matches the service needed in the case.
Parenting-time expeditors / coordinators
Terminology varies. Look for parenting-time expeditor, parenting coordinator, special master, facilitator, or another court-defined neutral.
Guardians ad litem / child representatives
Use the official source and verify that the professional’s role matches the service needed in the case.
Friend of the Court or equivalent services
This name is used most prominently in Michigan. Other states may use domestic-relations offices, child-support agencies, custody conciliators, family-court services, or court administration.
Family and child therapists
Use the official source and verify that the professional’s role matches the service needed in the case.
Licensed psychologists
Use the official source and verify that the professional’s role matches the service needed in the case.
Custody, parenting, and psychological evaluators
Separate a treating therapist from a neutral forensic evaluator. Confirm whether the court requires appointment, a particular credential, testing qualifications, or an approved roster.
Universal screening checklist
Role warning: A therapist is generally a treatment provider, not automatically a custody or forensic evaluator. A GAL represents or investigates the child’s interests under the appointing law and order; the GAL is not necessarily the child’s attorney. Confirm each role before sharing records or relying on an opinion.
Full-case workspace
Plan, prepare, track, and verify every stage.
Information stays in this open browser session unless you print or download it. Do not use a shared or unsafe device for confidential information.
Confirm every deadline, form, fee, filing code, service method, and local practice through the official court and assigned judge.
Official court/self-help source ↗Case calendar and deadline manager
Record the date and the legal source—not just the event. Verify calculated deadlines against weekends, holidays, service method, extensions, local rules, and court orders.
| Deadline or event | Date | Source / rule / order | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
Parenting-time calculator
Build a color-coded parenting calendar.
Each calendar date counts as one overnight with the selected parent. Review how your jurisdiction counts parenting time for child support or other legal purposes; hours, days, and overnights are not always interchangeable.

Legal research workspace
Case law by state and family-law topic.
Locate and summarize cases without treating a search snippet as law. Confirm the full opinion, publication and citation status, later history, statutory amendments, and whether the case remains controlling for the exact court and issue.
Research the current statutory rule first, then identify the highest controlling court’s interpretation. Separate binding precedent from persuasive, unpublished, memorandum, trial-level, vacated, superseded, or fact-specific decisions.

Accountability and grievance resources
Find the correct complaint process.
Start with the state and professional role. A complaint may address misconduct, but it usually does not change a court order or stop a filing, objection, reconsideration, or appeal deadline.
Your own attorney
Fee disputes, malpractice claims, client-protection claims, and professional-discipline complaints may use different processes.
Choose the process that matches the problem
Motion, objection, reconsideration, clarification, recusal request, writ, or appeal—subject to strict deadlines.
Disciplinary, licensing, judicial-conduct, GAL-program, court-roster, agency, or employer complaint.
Fee arbitration, client-protection fund, insurance claim, malpractice or civil claim, restitution, or another authorized remedy.
Emergency services, protection order, law enforcement, mandated-reporting channel, court motion, advocate, or safety plan.
Complaint preparation checklist
Important: This directory helps locate official processes; it does not determine whether misconduct occurred. Do not publish accusations publicly. Use factual, relevant, supportable statements and obtain legal advice about privilege, defamation, retaliation, confidentiality, immunity, and pending-case strategy.
Structured written settlement
Negotiate issue by issue—without losing the history.
Each party can state a proposal, counter in writing, and mark whether a term is agreed, partially agreed, rejected, reserved, or still open. An “agreed” entry is a negotiation record, not a binding agreement or court order unless all required formalities are completed.
Frozen proposal history
No frozen versions yet. Freeze a proposal before sending it so later changes can be compared against a known version.
Before treating terms as settled
Current exchange method: proposal packets are downloaded and sent by the user through a chosen secure channel, then imported by the recipient. DocuDraft does not presently provide accounts, live simultaneous editing, encrypted document storage, identity verification, e-signatures, or an attorney-client privileged portal.
Limited-time launch pricing
Introductory prices for early customers.
Summons, notices, and straightforward supporting documents.
Guided motions, stipulations, affidavits, and proposed orders.
Divorce and custody petitions requiring more information and review.
Petition, summons, confidential forms, service instructions, and filing checklist.
Build trust by collecting less.
No account. No document library. No long-term questionnaire storage. The customer reviews the document, completes payment, downloads it, and the drafting session is discarded.
