Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's Response to Dissolution skill uses AI to draft a comprehensive, paragraph-by-paragraph answer to a filed Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. It addresses every allegation with the appropriate legal response and establishes clear positions on custody, support, property division, and attorney fees — all formatted and ready for attorney review.

Drafting a response to a dissolution petition is painstaking work. Attorneys must carefully read every allegation, determine the correct legal response for each, and articulate positions on multiple contested issues — all under a strict filing deadline. Missing a single allegation can result in a deemed admission, and missing the deadline entirely can lead to a default judgment.

CaseMark automates the heavy lifting of dissolution response drafting. Upload the filed petition and your client's instructions, and the AI generates a complete, paragraph-by-paragraph response with appropriate admit/deny designations, detailed positions on every contested issue, and proper verification formatting — giving you a polished draft to review and file well before your deadline.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload the filed petition, client instructions, and financial records

  2. 2. AI analyzes every allegation and maps appropriate admit/deny/lack-of-information responses

  3. 3. Review the drafted response with positions on custody, support, property, and fees

  4. 4. Export the finalized response in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

How does CaseMark handle each allegation in the petition?

CaseMark reads every numbered paragraph in the filed petition and generates a corresponding response using the appropriate legal framework: admit, deny, admit in part and deny in part, or lack of sufficient information. No allegation is left unaddressed, helping prevent deemed admissions.

Can I customize the positions on custody, support, and property?

Absolutely. CaseMark uses your client instructions to draft positions on every contested issue, but the output is fully editable. You can adjust custody preferences, support calculations, property characterizations, and any other position before filing.

Does CaseMark mirror the petition's caption and formatting?

Yes. CaseMark automatically mirrors the court name, case number, party designations, and caption formatting from the filed petition to ensure your response matches the court's requirements exactly.

How does the tool handle disputed separation dates?

When your client instructions indicate a different separation date than what the petition alleges, CaseMark flags the discrepancy, drafts an admit-in-part/deny-in-part response, and states the respondent's asserted date with supporting basis.

Will this help me avoid a default judgment?

CaseMark is designed to help you draft a comprehensive response quickly so you can meet your filing deadline. By addressing every allegation and establishing positions on all contested issues, the response helps prevent default. However, you must still verify the deadline and file with the court.

What jurisdictions does CaseMark support for dissolution responses?

CaseMark generates responses that follow general family law pleading conventions applicable across most U.S. jurisdictions. You should review the output to confirm compliance with your specific state and local court rules before filing.
