How DadDocket would work

Everything below is a demonstration of the proposed workflow using illustrative content. It is not a finished product and no real case data appears on this page.

01

Create your case

Set up the people, court, orders, dates, issues, and current case status once — everything after this hangs off that structure.

Demo
Court
County domestic relations court
Case type
Post-decree parenting
Children
2
Current status
Motion pending
Issues
Parenting time, school decision, expenses
Existing order
Shared parenting plan
02

Add your evidence

Put in what you already have. It does not need to be sorted, renamed, or complete.

Demo
Court orders
Filings
Emails
Text messages
Screenshots
Financial records
Photos
Audio
Calendars
Receipts
Parenting records
Other documentation

Uploads are part of the proposed platform, not this demonstration site. Nothing on this page accepts case documents.

03

DadDocket organizes it

Each item is timestamped, hashed for integrity, classified, checked for duplicates, linked to the people involved, tagged to issues, and preserved in its original form.

04

Build a source-backed timeline

Thousands of disconnected records become one chronology. Every factual statement points back to the material that supports it, including material that does not help you.

Demo
  1. Scheduled exchange occurred at agreed location.

    Supported by 2 records

  2. Message thread about school enrollment decision.

    Supported by 6 records

  3. Expense reimbursement requested.

    Supported by 3 records

05

Understand your orders

Parenting plans and court orders are converted into understandable obligations, with documented compliance tracked against each one.

Demo
  • ¶ 4
    Documented: 12 of 12

    Exchanges occur at the agreed location at 6:00 pm.

  • ¶ 8
    Documented: notice sent

    Written notice before non-emergency healthcare changes.

  • ¶ 11
    Documented: 3 of 4

    Shared expenses reimbursed within 30 days.

Compliance tracking describes what the record documents. It does not declare that anyone violated an order — that is the court's determination.

06

Ask your case

Ask a plain question and get an answer assembled from your own material, with the underlying records cited. This is information about your records — not legal advice.

Demo

What evidence supports the claim that I attended every scheduled exchange in June?

Answer would cite the specific records, quote the relevant order paragraph, and name anything missing from the record rather than filling the gap.

Show me every communication about the school decision.

Answer would cite the specific records, quote the relevant order paragraph, and name anything missing from the record rather than filling the gap.

What does my current order require before changing the children's healthcare provider?

Answer would cite the specific records, quote the relevant order paragraph, and name anything missing from the record rather than filling the gap.

07

Prepare for court

Drafting and assembly from facts you provided. The system organizes and drafts; it does not invent evidence, and you approve every word.

Demo
Declarations
Responses
Motions
Correspondence
Hearing notes
Exhibit indexes
Exhibit packages
Financial summaries

Drafts should always be independently reviewed, and an attorney consulted where legal advice is needed.

08

Measure your own accountability

A summary of documented behavior: parenting-time participation, order compliance, documented support payments, communication responsiveness, filing completion, exchange reliability, appointment participation, cooperation with required processes and documentation quality.

The Accountability Score measures documented conduct and case-management behavior. It is not a judgment of someone's worth as a father and is not a substitute for a court's factual or legal determination.

Is this built yet?

Not fully. We're validating demand before we build the full platform. If this would help you, tell us. If you want to help make it possible, you can support development voluntarily.
