The complex reality of family law practice
Family law presents unique complexities that distinguish it from other litigation areas. Divorce, custody, protection orders, and other family law areas are often less predictable than other types of litigation, leading to hearings where anything can happen.
Managing dozens of active cases simultaneously, each requiring substantial documentation, while meeting demanding deadlines for motions, affidavits, and parenting plans, exacerbate the complexity. Financial investigations, organizing evidence across multiple “best interests,” and trial preparation consume billable hours. Every decision impacts children’s welfare, family finances, and emotional stability.
With billing pressures from cost-conscious clients, and efficiency critical to practice viability, family law attorneys need solutions that streamline workflows without compromising the quality their clients deserve.
How CoCounsel Legal addresses family law workflows
CoCounsel Legal represents the next evolution of AI for family law, optimizing your practice by automating the document-heavy workflows that consume your valuable time. Built specifically for legal professionals, this professional-grade AI solution processes hundreds of pages simultaneously while you focus on advocacy and client counseling.
Document analysis and review (CPS reports, financial records, text dumps)
Upload CPS reports, financial records, school documents, and text messages and receive comprehensive analysis in minutes instead of hours. CoCounsel Legal identifies domestic violence incidents, substance abuse patterns, parenting time interference, and financial irregularities. Your professional grade AI legal assistant can blaze through stacks of records, extracting evidence with pinpoint precision, surfacing patterns of intent, financial conduct, inconsistencies and more, without tiring, forgetting, or slowing down. No more missing crucial evidence buried in overwhelming document sets or spending entire days manually sifting through discovery materials.
Timeline creation and case organization
Turn scattered facts into compelling narratives with automated timeline creation. CoCounsel Legal extracts dates and events from multiple document types simultaneously, creating comprehensive chronologies that reveal patterns of behavior with source citations. Whether documenting escalating conflict, financial hiding, or custody violations, CoCounsel can update your timelines as new evidence emerges, perfect for mediation statements and trial preparation.
Motion and pleading drafting automation
Generate custody motions, support modifications, contempt actions, and comprehensive parenting plans from simple bullet points. Draft sworn declarations directly from client questionnaires or (even handwritten) attorney notes. Create discovery requests tailored to custody and income disputes. What traditionally required hours of drafting now takes minutes, giving you back more time not only to polish and perfect, but for more strategic advocacy work.
Financial investigation acceleration
Convert complex financial statements, bank records, and tax returns into structured, analyzable data that reveals hidden assets and suspicious spending patterns. CoCounsel Legal surfaces undisclosed income, questionable transfers to third parties, and financial pressure points that strengthen your client’s position in support and property division matters.
Research capabilities grounded in Westlaw
Access trusted legal research powered by over 225 years of Thomson Reuters legal expertise. Every analysis and recommendation includes citations to authoritative sources, ensuring your arguments rest on solid legal foundations while maintaining the accuracy and reliability your practice demands.
