Software for family law: sensitive files, fixed fees, maintenance money in trust, and clients kept informed.

Family law clients are anxious, budgets are tight, and money passes through trust for maintenance, settlements and transfers of the matrimonial home. AttorneyOS sends a fee quote with the Legal Practice Act cost notice before the file opens, bills fixed fees or time against that budget, holds and pays trust money against the matter, and gives the client a portal that answers "what is happening" before they phone.

What a file looks like in AttorneyOS.

Every step below is a screen in the product today, not a roadmap.

First consultation

Capture the client, open the matter and send a fee quote with the section 35(7) notice. The client accepts online and the quote becomes the matter budget.

Pleadings

Dies for the summons and the plea calculated and diarised. The Rule 43 application has its own court-day checklist.

Trust

Interim maintenance is received into trust and paid out against the matter, with the client's ledger visible and reconciled monthly.

Client updates

A plain-language update drafted with AI, reviewed by the attorney, sent by email or WhatsApp. The portal shows the balance, the trust held and the next date.

Settlement

The settlement agreement lives on the matter; the final account shows fees against the budget, and any fee-estimate-exceeded alert fired weeks earlier.

The parts of AttorneyOS family law use most.

Questions family law ask.

Can I bill fixed fees for an uncontested divorce?

Yes. Fixed-fee items, hourly time and disbursements sit on the same fee note, and an accepted quote converts to a fixed-fee invoice.

How are sensitive documents protected?

Documents are stored privately with permission-checked downloads and audit logs, and each user sees only the matters assigned to them.

Can clients see their own matter?

Yes. The client portal shows the balance owing, trust held, open quotes and the next date, without exposing the file.

Does the diary handle Rule 43 and maintenance court dates?

Any court date gets a checklist, reminders and a place on the weekly court roll; dies are counted per the applicable rule.

Which plan suits a family law practice?

Most start on Practice for up to five users. Solo Attorney covers a single practitioner.
