Workflow

Overview

Drafting comprehensive parenting plans requires hours of research into state-specific requirements, careful attention to custody schedules, and precise language for decision-making provisions. Attorneys spend 4-5 hours per plan researching templates, customizing provisions, and ensuring compliance with local court rules—time that could be spent on higher-value client work.

CaseMark automates parenting plan creation by analyzing your case documents, researching state-specific requirements, and generating complete, court-ready plans in minutes. Our AI pulls relevant facts from your files, incorporates jurisdiction-specific provisions, and structures all nine essential sections with proper legal formatting and citations to authoritative sources.
