The whole file, in order, before the hearing.
The hardest part of a family file is not the law. It is the volume. Years of texts, emails, screenshots, pleadings, and bank records arrive in a discovery dump, and someone has to read every page before the hearing. Pretext reads every page and hands back a document-grounded chronology, a proceedings ledger, and a case posture analysis. Built with Maryland family practitioners, firm-private in its entirety, and live in Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
A chronology, a ledger, and a posture read. Every line anchored to its source.
Family law analysis live
One run yields a dated chronology with every event anchored to its source document, a ledger of every filing with filer, outcome, and fees, and a case posture: pleaded grounds checked against the official statutory text, orders in force, discovery gaps, and deadlines. It maps documented evidence to the curated best-interests factors and never predicts a custody outcome.
Pattern exhibit for fee shifting live
Assign each filing to a side and the ledger rolls into a court-ready exhibit: filings by party over the window, adverse outcomes, fees incurred. Attorney-verified by construction, built for Md. Rule 1-341 and FL § 12-103 motions and their Virginia and Pennsylvania counterparts.
Protective and peace orders live
Respondent-side analysis for a hearing days away: allegations against the preponderance standard, the protective (FL Title 4) versus peace (CJ Title 3) track in Maryland and the equivalent tracks in Virginia and Pennsylvania, relief-scope overreach, service defects, collateral consequences, and the interplay with any related criminal matter, including whether to testify.
Case assistant, timeline, and notes live
Ask the file a question and get an answer that cites its source and keeps no chat history. Extend the chronology with your own events and attach their sources. Keep the running record of the matter in a notes tab, by date, retained by the firm.
Texts, emails, screenshots, spreadsheets, and recordings, all read.
Messages at scale
Years of text and email exports, screenshots of conversations, and co-parenting app records are read and placed on the chronology by date, each event pointing back to the message it came from.
Financial records
Bank and card statements, spreadsheets, and disclosure forms are read directly. Transfers, withdrawals, and account changes land on the same chronology as the filings and the messages.
Recordings and voicemails
Voicemails, recorded calls, and video are transcribed with timestamps and speaker labels, up to four hours and 10 GB per file, and quoted into the analysis with their time codes.
Family matters are private in their entirety.
Opposing parties, children, evaluators, and guardians ad litem are private individuals. Nothing from a family matter ever enters any shared layer. The database refuses it, not a policy.
Zero data retention AI
Google Cloud granted FiveFold a prompt-logging exception for Pretext production and caching is disabled. The AI reads your case, answers, and keeps nothing. Your files are never used to train any model.
Firm isolation inside the database engine
Your cases, clients, and notes are structurally invisible to every other firm, at every layer.
Encrypted with customer-managed keys
Case files and the case database are encrypted with keys FiveFold manages, on a private network. The case database has no public address at all.
Delete means delete
Delete a case and every file, transcript, chronology, and analysis goes with it, swept from storage as well as the database.
Try it on your own matters. Two weeks, free.
Upload a redacted file or work a live matter alongside your normal process and see what the chronology and the ledger catch. Your firm gets its own isolated environment the same day. No setup, no card, no obligation.
