Frequently Asked Questions

Why does CaseFacts exist?

Complex divorces generate hundreds of documents over 18+ months. You're expected to remember every detail—dates, amounts, who said what, what the orders actually require—while also living your life, managing your emotions, and showing up for your kids.

The problem isn't dishonesty. It's human limitation. Small inconsistencies in your answers—even when you're being completely truthful—can be used against you. "On March 3rd you said X, but today you said Y." Meanwhile, the facts haven't changed. Your recall just isn't perfect.

CaseFacts gives you a single source of truth for your own case, so you can answer questions accurately and consistently.

Who is this for?

People facing contested divorces with real complexity: significant assets, custody disputes, business interests, active discovery. If you're working with an attorney (or will be), this helps you use their time wisely.

This isn't for amicable splits where you're dividing a checking account and a lease. For those, Hello Divorce is a great option.

Doesn't my attorney already do this?

Your attorney focuses on strategy, advocacy, and legal judgment—that's what you're paying hundreds of dollars an hour for. But a lot of attorney time gets spent on things that aren't strategy:

• "What did the temporary order say about holidays?"
• "When was the house refinanced?"
• "What were the account balances at separation?"

These are factual questions with factual answers. CaseFacts gives you those answers instantly, so your attorney calls are about decisions, not data retrieval.

What are you building?

Here's what we're working on for launch:

Upload & Organize Documents

Upload court filings, financial statements, correspondence, bank statements—anything relevant to your case. We extract key facts, dates, people, and entities automatically.

Ask Questions About Your Case

"What did Judge Smith order about parenting time?" "When did we refinance the house?" "What were the terms of the LLC operating agreement?" Get answers with citations to your source documents.

See Your Case Timeline

Visual chronology of everything that's happened: filings, orders, financial events, custody changes. Filter by category. Understand the sequence of events at a glance.

We build your timeline from event dates, when things actually happened, not file metadata. A bank statement you downloaded today might have a "created" date of December 2025, but the transactions inside are from October 2023. We care about October 2023. File metadata is unreliable because documents get scanned, emailed, re-exported, and converted. We extract the dates that actually matter from the content itself.

Prepare for Attorney Calls

Tell us what your call is about. We'll generate relevant facts, open questions, and a printable agenda. Turn a 60-minute ramble into a 15-minute decision.

Get Help with Massachusetts Financial Statements

Form CJD-301 and CJD-304 are notoriously complex. We guide you through the information gathering, flag what's missing, and help with calculations. You review everything with your attorney before filing.

Draft Updates to Your Attorney

Prepare organized fact summaries, compile relevant documents, draft clear status updates. Come to every interaction prepared.

Track People & Entities

Keep structured information about everyone involved—parties, children, attorneys, experts—and every entity: companies, trusts, accounts, assets.

Understand Your Court Orders

Upload orders and we extract the key requirements, dates, and deadlines. Ask "What did the judge order about parenting time?" or "When is the discovery deadline?" and get clear answers.

What's on the roadmap?

These are features we're planning based on real case experience—but what we prioritize depends on what you tell us matters most:

• Bank Connectivity — Connect accounts to automatically categorize transactions, calculate actual monthly expenses, and populate financial forms with real data instead of guesses.
• Defense Preparation Tools — Track your core narrative, prepare for tough questions, maintain consistent and accurate messaging across depositions and hearings.
• Compliance Tracking — Proactive monitoring of what's been done versus what's outstanding, with deadline reminders so nothing falls through the cracks.
• Something else entirely? Tell us.

Why is everything encrypted?

Divorce documents are the most sensitive information you have: financial accounts, income details, custody arrangements, medical records, intimate communications. A data breach would be catastrophic.

We use zero-knowledge encryption, which means your documents are encrypted on your device before they ever reach our servers. We literally cannot read your files—only you can.

This protects you against hackers, data breaches, and unauthorized access of any kind. It doesn't change your obligations to the court. If you're required to produce documents in discovery, you still have them and you still must comply. CaseFacts just isn't a vulnerability in your case.

Is this legal advice?

No. CaseFacts helps you organize your case and understand your own documents. It does not provide legal advice, and we're not a law firm.

Think of it like this: we help you understand what your documents say. Your attorney helps you decide what to do about it.

Will this replace my attorney?

No, and it's not trying to. Complex contested divorces need attorneys—for strategy, for advocacy, for legal judgment, for court appearances.

What CaseFacts replaces is the administrative overhead: the time spent hunting for documents, the calls where you're just retrieving facts, the confusion about what happened when.

Your attorney focuses on winning your case. CaseFacts handles the homework.

What if opposing counsel asks about CaseFacts?

CaseFacts is a case organization tool—like a very sophisticated set of folders, notes, and a research assistant. There's nothing unusual about organizing your own case materials.

Communications with CaseFacts are not attorney-client privileged (that privilege only applies to communications with your actual attorney). But your documents remain your documents, and your organizational system is your business.

If you're concerned, mention it to your attorney. They'll likely appreciate that you're organized.

How is this different from just using folders and spreadsheets?

You could absolutely manage a complex divorce with folders, spreadsheets, and careful note-taking. Some people do.

CaseFacts adds:

• AI-powered search — Ask questions in plain English, get answers with citations
• Automatic extraction — We pull out dates, amounts, people, entities so you don't have to
• Cross-referencing — Connect facts across hundreds of documents
• Specialized tools — Financial Statement assistance, timeline visualization, call prep
• 24/7 availability — Get answers at 2am when you're anxious, not just during business hours

The question isn't whether you can do it manually. It's whether that's the best use of your time and mental energy during one of the hardest periods of your life.

What about my privacy from my spouse?

Your CaseFacts account is yours alone. Zero-knowledge encryption means even we can't access your content. Your spouse cannot see what you've uploaded, what questions you've asked, or how you're preparing.

That said: be mindful of shared devices, shared accounts, and shoulder-surfing. Basic operational security applies.

Why Massachusetts first?

Our founder went through a complex contested divorce in Massachusetts and built these tools out of necessity. We know the Massachusetts system—the courts, the forms, the procedures—intimately.

Starting focused lets us build something genuinely useful rather than something generically mediocre. Other states will follow based on demand.

How much does it cost?

We're building straightforward monthly subscription tiers—no surprise fees, no per-document charges, no billing by the hour.

Our goal is accessibility: tiers ranging from around $20 to $200 per month based on usage and features. Think Netflix or your favorite productivity tools, not enterprise software.

For context: one unfocused attorney call can cost more than several months of CaseFacts. We're not trying to replace your attorney—we're trying to make sure you're not paying attorney rates for "what did the order say?"

I have more questions.

Good—we want to hear them.

We're building this because we've been through it and know how much it's needed. But we're not building in a vacuum. Every feature on this page exists because real experience showed it mattered. What comes next depends on what you tell us.

Your feedback is valuable no matter what it is. Tell us what would help. Tell us what's missing. Tell us if something sounds wrong or unnecessary. Tell us if the pricing feels off. We read everything, and it all shapes what we build.
