Divorce Software: Family Law Software

"This is the most comprehensive site dealing with divorce that I have seen to date. The section on Law or Mediation is excellent. It accurately compares the experience of going through mediation to going through the traditional adversarial system. One often forgotten part of the divorce process, its effect on the couple's ability to make changes in the parenting plan after the divorce, is handled particularly well."

- Elizabeth Allen, Esq., attorney and Donald Mohr, therapist.
Based in Encinitas, California, Allen and Mohr limit their practice to high asset/high profile couples who want to complete their divorce in privacy and comfort. They meet couples in a hotel of the couple's choosing and complete the divorce in three weekends. They are authors of a book entitled "Affordable Justice," and they appear regularly as guest experts on radio and television.

"This site summarizes the divorce process so that a person knows what to expect and is prepared for the reality of obtaining a divorce. The Family Law Software Planner used properly should save my clients time and money since it will provide my clients with a basic understanding of the divorce process prior to meeting with me and thus allowing me to spend more time on the critical issues involved in their divorce.

Both the child support guideline calculators and the financial calculators can help both lawyers and clients prepare for the financial issues involved in a divorce. This information allows clients to be prepared when they first meet with a divorce attorney, by affording the client the ability to read a realistic accounting of the divorce process. This understanding will facilitate a smoother working relationship between client and attorney."

- James Brick, Esq., Family Law Attorney

"I think this will be informative and useful for people who are trying to educate themselves with respect to the issues of divorce and may also be helpful in working out some of the financial issues that must be dealt with in a divorce."

Jerome Weinstein, Divorce Mediator for 25 years

"This site has lots of valuable information and some very interesting statistics. I recommend it for anyone wanting to learn more about divorce."

- Bill Ferguson, former family law attorney and author of the book "How To Heal A Painful Relationship and If Necessary, How to Part As Friends." Bill was featured on Oprah for his ability to take the conflict out of divorce.

I have been using this software quite a bit, lately.

Here is what I like best about this software in comparison to other software I have used:

Ease of data entry.
Report printing sections match the title of the actual page so it's easy to find.
I can choose which sections to print for each client, enabling the plan to be more customized and appropriate for each client.
I can show "bottom line" or multi-page details, depending on what the client needs to see.
The output is easy for the client to understand.
The company responds quickly when I have a question or need help.
It is obvious that the people in the company want their software to work well and be "state of the art" and that they look for input to make it better.

"This is the way of the future."

Donald Tye, Esq., Family Law Attorney

I think FLS is INCREDIBLY COOL! It lets you *SEE* and *UNDERSTAND* the consequences of any settlement. It lets you cut through the whole smoke screen of alimony vs child support vs assets vs whatever and cut to the chase: what's the long-term result? It lets you see which settlements are equivalent in long-term net worth: ie, if I want to trade less alimony for more assets, exactly how much to keep the same parity...

Paul P, Software Developer

"I hope that your sales are up: your software package has filled a niche that was sorely in need of correct information. Neither attorneys (Family Law, Accountants, nor the Judiciary) has a good understanding of the changing support statutes. I believe that the legal profession is not well equipped to understand "mathematical concepts," and accountants rarely are involved in actual support calculations.

Your software is empowering, even if its results raise the ire of those who should but do not know how to apply the statutes correctly . Congrats on providing the tools to empower parents to ensure that they are treated the same in all courts by adherence to the laws as they are written, not as they may be capriciously interpreted . "

A.G. Medical Doctor (Internal Medicine)

"I discovered this software just as we were starting our divorce procedure. I was going through depression, was confused, angry, despondent.... This software was a Godsend. It gave me the emotional support and knowledge for me to understand and deal with my divorce process.

I really connected with the personal relationship issues and real-life examples in the "Life" section, found the "How to Negotiate" section particularly informative enabling me to understanding the processes involved, and got a solid handle on the "what-ifs" of my future fiscal life with the "Financial" chapters. Child Support Calculator in particular (which printed out the forms for my state all filled in to my situation) - saved me untold hours of work. These calculator "what-if" printouts enabled us to cut through hours of back-and-forth negotiations which easily saved me the cost of this software in lawyer's fees.

This program goes far beyond the dry nuts-and-bolts of a divorce process. The "feel" and ease of use of this program with personal support it provides was *just* what I needed at the time. It enabled me to participate in the process rather than being a mote blown by the winds. A few minutes with the software here and there would save me hours of angst and hassle in our meetings. My lawyer was so impressed with this program that he got it for his office!

I highly recommend this product for ALL parties in a divorce."

"I ran a number of child support scenarios and they all seem to tally with the results I got at the courthouse using the Dissomaster [California Child Support Software] last year.

I much prefer having the software at home, and it is MUCH more user friendly than the court's version (which comes with no instruction manual and a rather arcane interface which was extremely difficult to puzzle out)."

C.M., via e-mail

"I am very impressed with your product and the excellent technical support provided."

"Just wanted to send a short note to tell you that your site is the single best, most informative, easiest to navigate, and quickest loading of any website I have visited on any topic. You are providing a valuable service. Congratulations on a huge accomplishment."

"Family Law Software saved me thousands of dollars by finding a tax angle my accountant had missed."

R.S., Marketing Communications

"The detailed state-specific legal information enabled me to better understand what my lawyer told me. The financial tools, however, are the real gem of this program, as they allowed me to model various settlement scenarios with regard to taxes, equity, retirement and other financial issues around my divorce. This kind of detail was just not practical for my lawyer to do with me--not at $200/hour!"

B.K., Pediatrician

"I like the program and think it is well done. The calculators will help me wrap things up in a lot of the areas."

A.P., a Family Law Software customer, via e-mail

"I've been through living hell and I've spent thousands of dollars on attorneys, and this software finally helped me show the attorneys what I was trying to tell them. If you buy this software, you're going to have a case to go to court with.

I'm 45. When I'm 65, my children will be in college. The chart from the software shows that, even with a cut in my expenses, college spirals me negative. That alone has been worth the price of the software.

It allows you to clearly show the judge what's going to happen and get fairness in the distribution.

R.P., Software developer

"Family Law Software gave me the baseline knowledge I needed to be proactive about the progress of my case. Just understanding the parameters helped guide my expectations of the process and likely outcomes. I probably saved thousands of dollars in billable attorney time since I had the straightforward answer to many of my most basic questions from Family Law Software."
