We have an offer · know before you commit
See every version before you sign.
The Offer to Order kit reads every offer, draft and proposed order against what you've said you can't lose, keeps your questions to your lawyer in writing, and walks you through the life you'd be agreeing to before you sign, so you know what you're committing to and can keep up with it after.
With a lawyer or without one · from either side of the deal · runs in your own AI account
ALIGN™ · PATTERN™ · LANDING™
The draft that matters most shows up on the day you're told to sign.
By then you've read five versions, you're running on no sleep, and everyone keeps telling you you're almost done. There's a special kind of tired that comes from reading the sixth draft of anything, and it's exactly when a new paragraph slips in, a "should" quietly becomes a "will," or a reference starts pointing at the wrong section after everything gets renumbered.
This kit reads each version with you, so none of that gets past you, and when it's signed, it helps you live under it without anything slipping.
A real output, from a fictional case
Here's what you'd see when a new draft lands.
What's new
What changed
The terms you said you need
Sample built from the fictional Merritt v. Calloway matter. Your pages are customized to your family and your documents.
Four steps, from the first offer to the order you live under
Read the board
See how the other side's offers have moved, what you're exposed on, and the terms you need in whatever gets signed.
Watch every draft
Every new version is checked against the last one and against your terms, with one written question for your lawyer each time.
Replay
See where every term came from, what was traded for what, and what's still open, while it's all fresh.
Land it
Your plan is decoded again with the new terms, and a tracker shows what each of you owes and when, with monthly check-ins.
Know before you commit
You'd never buy a house without walking through it first.
Before closing, you walk every room, flip the light switches and run the water, because once you sign, the leaky faucet is yours. Your agreement is a contract you'll live in for years, and it deserves the same walk-through.
So before you sign, the Walk-Through shows you two things: what changed since the last draft, and what your next twelve months look like under this one, every payment, pickup, notice and deadline on both sides, so nothing in it comes as news later.
Your next twelve months under this draft
Every promise, both ways
- $350 on the 1st of every month for 24 months
- $6,000 by January 15
- 30 days' notice before any travel
- Summer picks by March 1 every year
- School costs named in 7(c), within 30 days of the bill. The full list from version 3 isn't in this draft
- Half of camp, within 15 days of a receipt
- Five days' written notice before calling a payment missed
Can you keep up with it?
Using the monthly numbers you gave, the $350 fits only if nothing else goes wrong. January carries the $6,000 and spring school costs in the same month, so that's the one to plan around now. A longer term at a lower monthly amount is a question you could put to your lawyer before you sign.
Sample from the fictional Merritt v. Calloway matter. Yours is customized to your family, your documents and your own budget.
What you get
Eight pieces, all customized to your family and your documents, and only two files open by default so you're never digging through a folder.
- A Start Here page that updates at every step, so you always know what's next.
- One workbook that holds the whole deal, from the first offer to the last payment.
- A one-page read of every new version, with one question for your lawyer.
- The Walk-Through, what changed plus your next twelve months under the draft, before you sign.
- A recap note after every call, so the answers you get by phone end up in writing.
- The full replay of how your deal was made, whenever you want it.
- Your parenting plan decoded again with what you signed, so you can see what changed.
- A tracker for what both of you owe, with reminders and monthly check-ins.
Less than one hour of a lawyer's time
With a lawyer, it makes every billed hour count, because you walk in with the new lines found and your question already written. Without one, it gives you the clearer picture you'd otherwise be paying for.
Who it's for
An offer just landed
A settlement offer, a fee demand or a "final" email, often with a hearing already on the calendar.
The hearing already happened
The judge ruled or sent everyone off to work it out, and now the lawyers are writing up the order.
It works the same whether you're the one paying or the one being paid, whether you have a lawyer or you're doing this on your own, and whether this is your first agreement or your fifth.
Why not just paste it into a chatbot?
A chatbot will compare two drafts if you paste them in. This kit keeps every version, checks each one against what you said you can't lose, catches the reference that points to the wrong paragraph after a renumber, and keeps track of which questions to your lawyer actually came back in writing. It reads only your documents, never the internet's idea of a settlement, and your files stay in your own account with redaction built in.
What it doesn't do. It won't tell you whether an offer is fair, whether to sign, or what a clause means for your case, and nothing honest can. What it does is make sure you've seen the whole page before you decide, and that your questions went to your lawyer in writing.
Questions parents ask
Do I need a lawyer to use it?
No. With a lawyer, your questions go to them in writing. Without one, they go to a self-help center or legal aid office instead.
I already have ALIGN.
Then you can add PATTERN and LANDING on their own. The kit is for parents starting fresh.
My hearing already happened.
That's the second door. When a proposed order is being written after a hearing, the kit can check each line against your transcript, with READBACK added on.
Will it tell me if the offer is fair?
No. It shows you what changed, what you'd be giving up and whether what you need is still there, so the decision you make with your lawyer is an informed one.
What if I'm the one being paid?
It works the same from either side. The tracker shows what's owed to you and when, so a late payment is visible the day it happens.
