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 โ€” 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 โ€” not urgent red โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” which school, which house โ€” 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 โ€” tracked, with AI-drafted notification letters. NEW IN THIS UPDATE โ€ข Deadline Reminders โ€” get notified before every court date and response deadline, so nothing slips. โ€ข Court-Countdown Widget & Live Activity (NEW) โ€” your next hearing on the Home and Lock Screen, counting down. โ€ข Encrypted iCloud Sync (NEW) โ€” open your case on iPhone and iPad, safely backed up in your own private iCloud. โ€ข Case Binder Export (NEW) โ€” one tap builds a complete PDF binder (documents, timeline, ledger, brief) plus a CSV for your accountant. โ€ข AI Reply Coach (NEW) โ€” paste the message you received and your reaction; get a court-safe reply and see what changed. โ€ข Multi-Case Workspace (NEW) โ€” 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 โ€” 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.

About

DivorceReady

Features
Read full description

Divorce is a dozen jobs hitting you at once โ€” legal, financial, parenting, logistical, emotional. Expensive professional time gets wasted because the facts live in shoeboxes, screenshots, and 2 a.m. memory. DivorceReady is a private divorce and custody readiness workspace. Track where you are in the process, organize the documents, build the timeline, log parenting and finance basics, and walk into every conversation โ€” with an attorney, mediator, judge, or co-parent โ€” prepared. DivorceReady sends nothing to our servers. There is no account, automatic upload, or analytics. Data leaves only when you explicitly export or share it with an app you choose. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข Stage map โ€” the ten common stages of a divorce or separation, from "considering" through "post-decree." See where you are and what usually comes next. โ€ข Document vault โ€” track every document you have, mark what's still missing, and group by category. Track status (needed, requested, in hand). โ€ข Timeline & event log โ€” record the facts of what happened, when, and who was involved. Keep factual notes separate from private emotional notes; private notes never appear in any export. โ€ข Parenting records โ€” child profiles, parenting time, exchanges, expenses, school, and medical notes. Capture what matters in the moment, find it again later. โ€ข Financial inventory โ€” assets, debts, income, expenses, retirement, and insurance. The full picture professionals always ask for, organized once. โ€ข Readiness packet โ€” turn your records into a clean, shareable summary so every consultation starts at minute one, not minute forty. Export as text and share with your attorney, mediator, or financial professional. โ€ข Smart suggestions โ€” on-device suggestions for questions and missing information, based on your stage and what you've recorded. No network calls. No AI conversations. โ€ข Quick privacy cover and delete-all โ€” instantly replace sensitive content with a neutral screen. Delete-all removes every record and attachment from your device. WHO IT'S FOR DivorceReady is built for adults who are considering, going through, or coming out of a divorce or separation โ€” especially parents preparing for custody conversations or anyone heading into their first attorney consultation. Whether you're attorney-shopping, mediating, in active litigation, or modifying a post-decree arrangement, organized facts are how you stop wasting time and money. WHAT IT'S NOT DivorceReady is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. The app helps you organize your own information and prepare materials for qualified professionals. For legal advice, talk to a licensed attorney in your state. DivorceReady does not file your divorce, doesn't connect you with attorneys, and doesn't store any of your records on remote servers in the current version. There is no co-parent messaging product โ€” by design. SAFETY & PRIVACY This category handles some of the most sensitive information in a person's life. We design for that from the first screen. DivorceReady stores your data on-device using iOS file-level data protection and does not transmit it. There is no account, analytics, or third-party SDK. Data leaves only when you explicitly export or share it with an app you choose. A quick privacy-cover button instantly replaces app content with a neutral screen. A "Delete all" action wipes your records and local attachments. If someone may monitor your device or accounts, consider using a safer device. If you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services. In the U.S., the National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233. PROFESSIONAL COMPANION MatterReady is a professional companion product for family-law attorneys, mediators, divorce coaches, and financial professionals. If you're working with someone on the professional side, ask them about it โ€” or visit matterready.app.
