Family law

Sensitive cases deserve organized files — not scattered emails.

Family law clients need discretion and clarity. LawNest handles intake, matter timelines, financial disclosures, billing, and secure client communication on one platform priced for small firms.

How it works for your practice

Step 1

Intake

Capture inquiries through a public link with matter type and opposing party info. Run conflict checks before consultation. Send intake forms by email after the client decides to proceed.

Step 2

Matter & checklist

Open a family law matter template with tasks for financial disclosure, parenting plans, and court filing deadlines. Document checklists track what you have and what is still outstanding.

Step 3

Billing

Log billable hours on the matter, add court filing fees as expenses, and invoice with your letterhead. Clients pay online or apply trust balances to outstanding bills.

Step 4

Client portal

Clients upload financial documents and parenting logs securely, view upcoming court dates, read firm messages, and pay invoices — all without sharing a personal email thread.

  • Conflict check before opening a matter — built into the convert-to-client flow
  • Matter templates for divorce, custody, support, and separation with disclosure checklists
  • Court dates and mediation deadlines on the firm calendar with optional Outlook sync
  • Retainer e-sign with audit trail — send agreements the same day as consultation
  • Secure portal messaging keeps emotional updates out of your personal inbox
  • Track retainers, hourly time, and flat fees with trust balance visibility
