"I use Family Law Software all the time in collaborative cases.

I like that it allows us to do many iterations on the case.

It also helps us answer questions the clients have."

"I have been using Family Law Software for many years. The program is frequently updated for tax changes and new features.

The software has a comprehensive menu of reports that are available, integrates accurate tax adjusted calculations, and can easily produce multiple scenarios.

This program has been an invaluable resource for my practice for the most basic to the most complex cases. "

Jerry Cohen, CPA/PFS, CFF, CDFA, Woodland Hills, CA

"Family Law Software is an invaluable tool for financial professionals working in the divorce process.

I use the software to help the parties and their attorneys examine and project settlement options."

Mary Prior, MS, EA, CFP? , CDFA, Valhalla, New York

"As a Collaborative financial neutral and financial mediator, I?ll often attend settlement meetings with attorneys and/or a divorcing couple and project the Family Law Software against a screen or monitor for everyone to see.

To be able to make a change in the property division, support amounts or any other number and enable everyone to immediately see the impact of the change is no small matter.

The pencil-and-paper attorneys seem especially impressed."

Don Blythe CPA, Kansas City, Missouri

What I value in the Family Law Software Planner is its attention to the varied range of users. The text/language supports use by attorneys, the tax analysis support CPA's and the comprehensive analysis is appreciated by CFP's and CDFA's. Furthermore, it is actively being expanded upon and improved by user suggestions from the field.

William Chamberlin, St Louis, Missouri

The program has been stupendous. I used to use [another program], and this is much better. What I like with the Family Law Software Planner is that when I make changes, the changes are shown instantaneously. And it's easy to use - everything is laid out right in front of you.

As far as the client goes, it's transparent. If a client wishes to, or his attorney wishes to he or she can follow each number down the line. You can do three or four or five different scenarios, which is what I usually do, and you can see each change and what the results are.

Matthew Bernstein,  Atlanta, GA

This software is very, very helpful, because it graphically illustrates in a tactile way the client's situation.

I have been using Family Law Software Planner for over a year now, including in one case with over $20 million in assets.

There's a lot to be said for a client actually having these reports in his or her hand, as opposed to just having a discussion across the desk.

I also find that the software helps bring a bit of civility to the process, because it leads the parties to understand what is realistic.

I was speaking to a new client the other day, a Harvard Business School MBA, as it happens. She had all kinds of financial issues, but she had not been able to get them organized.

I told her that his software would empower her, because it would get all of her issues organized, and it would help her understand what is possible and what is not. And she was very appreciative.

Dan Sears, Manchester-By-The-Sea, Massachusetts

At our firm we provide comprehensive financial planning. The planning software we use is top notch but does not offer us the unique aspects of a divorce situation.

Built into the Family Law Software program are such unique items as property division, mortgage refinancing, pension calculations, child support and maintenance.

The software also provides the ability to present different settlement options to the client. The attention to detail is surprising. In addition, the technical support provided to us has been superlative."

Gary Castine, SageRutty and Co., Inc  Rochester, New York 

I like:  1. That the Family Law Software Planner has the capability to show two individual tax scenarios with the corresponding cash flows and balance sheets.  2. That Family Law Software Planner can demonstrate to a divorce client possible future financial scenarios based on different settlement options so that the client can be well informed during settlement negotiations and when he/she makes a final decision. 

Geralyn Jensen,  SageRutty and Co.,Inc Rochester, New York

I chose Family Law Software - after an extensive search - to illustrate financial planning strategies for my book, "The Complete Guide to Protecting Your Financial Security When Getting a Divorce," for McGraw Hill. It clearly conveys the financial reality and long-term impact of divorce.

Alan Feigenbaum,  Chapel Hill, North Carolina

The Family Law Software Planner allows me to very quickly produce something that makes lawyers and judges understand my client's position. More importantly, it really changes my clients' lives.

Sandi Geller,  Newton, MA

I have shared my work product with collaborative divorce attorneys in the Maryland Collaborative Law Association, where I practice, and they say there is no way in the world that they could replicate the comprehensiveness of these reports. They are simply wowed.

Gerald Veydt , Parting Ways, Inc.

I have a few other financial divorce software programs, and I find this to be the most thorough. I feel like I'm covering all my bases with the Family Law Software Planner.

Savilla Stokas, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

Family Law Software is the is the most comprehensive, intelligent, and powerful software I have ever used for divorce financial analysis.
