After Filing

After Filing is a calm, organized home for everything your divorce generates: court filings, financial disclosures, custody schedules, coparent messages, child-support payments, and the decisions that follow you for years afterward. DOCUMENT VAULT Photograph or upload court filings, financial disclosures, settlement drafts, and court orders. OCR makes every document full-text searchable. Categorized by type and case stage — so you can find what your attorney needs in seconds, not hours. TIMELINE & DEADLINES Court dates, response deadlines, mediation appointments, financial-disclosure due dates. After Filing's AI extracts dates from your documents automatically and adds them to the timeline. Typography weight — not urgent red — indicates severity. TONE REWRITER You type what you want to say. After Filing rewrites it in calm, court-safe, child-centered language. You see both versions side by side and choose which to send. This is the feature your attorney wishes you had. CUSTODY SCHEDULE A visual calendar showing custody days, handoffs, holidays, school events. One tap syncs to your system calendar. Never argue about the schedule again — it's in writing. EXPENSE LEDGER Track child-support payments, alimony, shared medical and school expenses. Generate a clean ledger for court or your accountant. Export as PDF. DECISION JOURNAL When you face a major decision — which school, which house — structure your thinking with AI prompts. Saved for future reference and visible to your attorney if needed. ATTORNEY BRIEF GENERATOR Before each attorney meeting, generate a structured memo: what's happened since last meeting, open items, questions to ask. Maximize your billable-hour value. NAME CHANGE CHECKLIST Post-decree, the 40+ institutions you have to update — tracked, with AI-drafted notification letters. NEW IN THIS UPDATE • Deadline Reminders — get notified before every court date and response deadline, so nothing slips. • Court-Countdown Widget & Live Activity (NEW) — your next hearing on the Home and Lock Screen, counting down. • Encrypted iCloud Sync (NEW) — open your case on iPhone and iPad, safely backed up in your own private iCloud. • Case Binder Export (NEW) — one tap builds a complete PDF binder (documents, timeline, ledger, brief) plus a CSV for your accountant. • AI Reply Coach (NEW) — paste the message you received and your reaction; get a court-safe reply and see what changed. • Multi-Case Workspace (NEW) — manage the original decree and later modifications side by side. PRIVACY FIRST Divorce documents are uniquely sensitive. After Filing stores everything on-device by default. iCloud sync is opt-in and stays in your own private iCloud. Face ID locks access. All AI runs on-device — your messages and documents never leave your phone. No ads. No data brokers. --- After Filing is a document-organization tool. It does not provide legal advice. Consult a licensed attorney for legal guidance. Subscription: After Filing $19.99/month or $179/year (save 25%). Pro (iCloud sync, widget, reply coach) $24.99/month or $229/year. Family (multiple cases) $29.99/month. 30-day free trial.
