Client portal and intake software for family law attorneys

Family law intake should connect the client portal to financial disclosure, children and parenting facts, deadlines, safety screening, documents, and communications. It should keep sensitive safety information out of client-facing views and clearly distinguish mapped forms from attorney-sourced jurisdictional forms.

Client-facing work

Clients need a simple place for intake, uploads, messages, dates, and exact requests. They should not see internal DV flags, legal theories, or attorney-only notes.

Attorney-facing work

The firm needs financial disclosure status, property and debt records, support and parenting inputs, deadlines, settlement terms, and a source-aware next-work view.

Jurisdiction transparency

Family Law workspace available in all 50 states + D.C.. Mapped financial-disclosure forms are available for Georgia, Florida, New York, and California. Every other jurisdiction keeps the financial summary and clearly identifies the form the attorney must source. Mapped court-form workflows are available for select forms in Georgia, Florida, Texas, New York, and California. Availability, working-draft status, and attorney-review requirements stay visible in the product.

Questions

Does the portal expose a domestic-violence answer to the other party?

No. Safety flags and attorney-only details are separated from the client portal, and the product includes a DV-safe mode.

Does DocketBuddy provide every state court form?

No. The workspace is nationwide, while mapped form availability is explicitly limited and shown in the product.
