Filing on your own?
We’ll help you know what’s next.
A court-process organizer for self-represented parents in family court. Forms, sequence, deadlines, a case timeline that holds everything — without legal advice.
“I filed a complaint three weeks ago. Now I have no idea what to do next — or when.”
What Prose does and doesn’t do.
We’re deliberate about scope. Structured guidance, never advice. Procedural organization, never strategy. Here’s the line:
What Prose does
- Walks you through family court filings stage by stage
- Keeps a timestamped case timeline — filings, responses, orders, hearings
- Finds the right form (CN number, link, fallback instructions)
- Tracks every deadline with calendar reminders
- County lookup: courthouse address and Family Division phone
What it doesn’t do
- —Give legal advice
- —Predict how a judge will rule
- —Recommend strategy
- —Represent you in court
- —Store your sealed documents (metadata only)
Everything a first-time self-rep needs.
