Family Law Discovery Deadline Calculator

A deadline calculator built only for family court rules that sends reminders to the lawyer and the paralegal.

Read the full idea

Who pays
Family law firm owner or lead attorney
The problem
Family court deadlines are unforgiving and missing one can mean your evidence is not heard. Paralegals say they find overdue discovery responses and do not know how badly they messed up.
The gap
Existing calculators cover federal, state and local civil rules and general litigation calendaring. None are built around family court rules and family law document types, and none are priced or shaped for a small family firm.
Already out there
People asking for it
The big assumption
Family lawyers will trust and pay for a deadline tool that is not part of their case management system.
Test it this week
Ask ten family lawyers and paralegals in your network to send you their last missed deadline story and what they would pay to never have it again.

Family Law Support Staff Handoff Board

A task board made for family law teams that shows who is holding each task and what is waiting on someone else.

Read the full idea

Who pays
Family law firm owner or office manager
The problem
A family law paralegal with 179 active cases said she did everything alone: billing, phones, scheduling. Another posted asking for task management help while supporting three attorneys.
The gap
General legal project management tools and case management suites exist, but they are built around matters and billing, not around the daily handoff between paralegal, assistant and attorney in a small family firm. The paralegal posts show the gap is real and unsolved in their firms.
Already out there
People asking for it
The big assumption
Small family firms will move off email and sticky notes to a separate task board.
Test it this week
Offer to run one firm's handoffs on a shared spreadsheet for two weeks and see if they keep using it.
