Family law is the most emotionally charged work in a solo practice. Clients are stressed, stakes are high, and the paperwork is relentless. Divorce involves splitting assets, custody schedules, support calculations, and often years of court appearances. Each case file is a documentation marathon.
Generic practice management tools miss the texture of family law. They don't understand that a custody intake needs to capture the number of children, their ages, existing orders, and the client's urgency level. They don't know that a Texas divorce requires specific community property disclosures. And they certainly don't understand that your client needs to feel heard on the first intake call — not handed a 40-field web form.
Steadfast Practice's family law intake collects what you actually need: party relationships, children and ages, existing court orders, grounds for divorce, contested versus uncontested status, property to divide, urgency level, and whether domestic violence is a factor. Twelve fields. Thirty seconds for your client to complete. All the information you need before the first consultation.
Family Law Tools That Work
12-field family law intake that captures divorce, custody, child support, modification, and protective order cases with the right questions for each.
Texas community property tracking. Log marital assets and debts, categorize as community or separate property, and track disposition status through the case.
Custody schedule management. Documenting possession orders, holiday schedules, and modification requests is painful in generic tools. Steadfast Practice keeps custody documents organized with the case from day one.
Flat-fee billing that matches how you work. Most family law solos use a mix of flat fees for uncontested cases and hourly for contested. Both billing models live in one place.
Clio's EasyStart is $39/month — but add Clio Grow for intake management, document automation, and billing features, and you're at $150+/month. Scorpion is $8,000+ per month. Steadfast Practice is $49/month, all features included. No math required.
