ONE WORKSPACE

Everything a separation touches, in one place

Built to mirror the professional tools family lawyers use — without the licence fees.

Support calculators

Child support (Federal Guidelines tables), spousal support (SSAG), lump-sum NPV, undue hardship, insurance needs, after-tax analysis and restructuring — with one-page printouts.

Financial statement

Form 13 / 13.1-style income, expense and budget worksheets with auto-totals, monthly budget planning, and one-click data transfer into your support calculations.

Disclosure tracker

43 document categories across 6 groups, per-party status tracking with automatic discrepancy flags — so nothing falls through the cracks.

Agreement builder

37 plain-language clauses across separation, cohabitation and marriage contracts. Assemble, preview, print, and save encrypted drafts.

Deadlines & checklists

Court-rule deadline calculator with business-day math, filing checklists, and a full application package assembler for one-print bundles.

Planning tools

Cost estimator with Ontario court fees, support arrears ledger, parenting schedule builder, process pathways, benefits modeller and a verified legal-help directory — all printable.

Community directory

2,088 verified Ontario listings across 17 sections: shelters, hospitals, police, victim services, children's aid, food banks, legal clinics, mental health, community health, housing help, drop-ins, basic needs, settlement, income support, addiction & harm reduction, advocacy and family supports — searchable by community, with crisis lines and quick exit. Free, no account needed.

Bank-grade privacy

AES-256-GCM encryption in your browser, 5,000,000 PBKDF2 iterations, zero-recovery design. The server sees ciphertext only — we cannot read your case.
