Divorce Software For Divorce Lawyers

When a client visits a divorce lawyer with divorce on his mind, he wants immediate answers to several questions before deciding to handover the case. If a lawyer were to start calculations of the financial implications, it would take a long time. If he uses divorce software he can simply input the client's income, his spouse's income, net disposable income desired and the ages of their children. The software automatically calculates alimony, tax liabilities, net disposable incomes for both, child support and other data. This gives the prospective client a clear picture and helps him decide. One can imagine the implications this has for the lawyer as well since he gains clients, more cases and increases his revenues.

A divorce is more than a simple separation due to financial and legal implications. Divorce software helps in easy calculation of precise divorce settlements and several “what if” scenarios by varying the inputs. A divorce lawyer should select a software that easily delivers outputs relating to :

• Tax optimizes support payments of the client
• Delivers court-room ready reports including graphs and charts
• Output in MS word document or PDF format ready for emailing or printing

The “what if” is a wonderful feature permitting divorce lawyers explain to prospective clients the tax benefits of keeping alimony payment and child support separate. Complicating this issue of divorce is the fact that rates and laws are different in the 50 states of the US and the divorce software should have a feature enabling immediate display in respect of each state by using appropriate options, avoiding the need for long drawn out manual calculation taking all factors into consideration.

That is for the client side. For the lawyer handling the case and to some extent to the client, the fees and other incidental expenses are also factored in considering duration of the case and the probable outcome. This is one very desirable feature of a divorce software.

Getting married is easy but getting out of it is not that easy because wedlock imposes rights and obligations on both partners and a divorce or legal dissolution of marriage is subject to laws.

Divorce financial settlement, child support, alimony, division of assets and property are further complicated by the tax factor. That is only one aspect of divorce. The other aspects are preparing and filing necessary forms and documents, arguing the case in court with the right factual support and financial implication reports generated so easily by divorce software.
