If these forms are missing information that you need from the client, you can send the form over to your client via the client portal for completion. Your client can then complete the form from their mobile or tablet and when they return it, the data in your case file will automatically be updated with the new information provided by the client, with the form stored in the file history.

Family law software FAQs
What is family law software?
Family law software is the essential cornerstone for family law solicitors to optimise their time and take care of their clients in an efficient manner. By taking advantage of features such as matter and document management, pre-built or editable workflows, reporting and powerful integrations (such as Adobe, Microsoft, and GOV portals) solicitors can have a holistic and one-stop shop for all aspects of family law including matrimonial, Ancillary Relief, Children’s Act claims and Injunction proceedings.
How do law firms choose family law software?
If a family law firm wishes to select new software to run its family law cases the best route is probably to arrange a Beauty Parade. From thorough online research and speaking with other law firm owners and leaders that you trust about the kind of family law software they use, draw up a shortlist of 3-4 potential software suppliers to approach.
Provide each vendor with a document outlining your family law business, with an overview of your users and their needs, and your software and technical infrastructure requirements. Invite them to provide written information, and to present and demonstrate their family law software to you and relevant colleagues. Devise a scoring system to help you assess their suitability as suppliers to your firm.
