Family proceedings are chronology cases.
Child arrangements and financial remedy disputes turn on patterns across months — handovers, payments, messages, incidents. CaseTime reads your whole bundle and shows the pattern, in order, with a source behind every entry — in the language of the family court.
Your case, in the family court's own language.
Software built for American courtrooms talks about custody and visitation — terms England & Wales retired in 2014. Choose United Kingdom (England & Wales) when you create your case, and CaseTime works in the right framework: child arrangements, applicant and respondent, financial remedy, conditional and final orders, CAFCASS — and reads dates the British way, so 04/07/2025 is the fourth of July, not the seventh of April.
It recognises the documents your case actually contains: C100 applications, position statements, Form E financial statements, CAFCASS safeguarding letters and Section 7 reports, consent orders, CMS records, and the WhatsApp threads behind so many hearings.
In the family court, the order of events is the argument.
Months of a case, readable in a minute
A sample of what CaseTime builds from an ordinary child-arrangements and financial-remedy bundle. Every entry is labelled and cites the document and page it came from.
Child arrangements order made: child lives with the applicant, spends time with the respondent on alternate weekends, handovers Fridays at 6 pm. ORD 02, p. 3
First of six handovers more than 90 minutes late between August and November, per timestamped messages. EX 14, p. 7
September maintenance payment not reflected in bank statements; October and November payments partial (£450, £450). FIN 04, p. 11
Respondent's position statement says all maintenance payments are "up to date and complete." PS 03, p. 2
Form E states monthly income of £3,100; deposits in the produced statements average £4,800 over the same period. FIN 04, p. 11 FORM E, p. 4
Bank statements for October–December referenced in Form E but not disclosed — suggested for a questionnaire. FORM E, p. 6
Most family cases now have at least one unrepresented party.
If that's you, the bundle is the hardest part: it grows with every hearing, and the court expects you to know what's in it. CaseTime keeps the whole record read and organised — the chronology courts ask for, the parties and issues mapped, and Ask CaseTime to question your own bundle and get answers cited to a document and page.
And because every statement is labelled — fact, claim, court order, or AI observation — you always know what the record establishes versus what the other side merely asserts.
CaseTime is not a substitute for a solicitor or barrister, and it never gives legal advice. It makes sure that whoever advises you — and you yourself — can see the whole record clearly.
England & Wales questions, answered
Does CaseTime work for family cases in England and Wales?
Yes. Choose United Kingdom (England & Wales) when you create your case and CaseTime reads your documents with the right framework: child arrangements rather than custody, applicant and respondent, financial remedy, conditional and final orders, CAFCASS reports, and UK date formats.
Can CaseTime read a court bundle, Form E, or CAFCASS report?
Yes. Upload the bundle as it is — C100 applications, orders, position statements, Form E financial statements, CAFCASS safeguarding letters and Section 7 reports, messages, and exhibits. CaseTime classifies each document, builds the chronology, and cites every entry to a document and page.
Is CaseTime useful for a litigant in person?
That is exactly who it is built for. A litigant in person faces a bundle that grows with every hearing. CaseTime keeps the whole record read and organised, builds the chronology courts ask for, and answers questions about what is in the bundle — each answer cited.
Does CaseTime give legal advice?
No. CaseTime is case intelligence, not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for a solicitor or barrister. It organises and explains your record, labels every statement as fact, claim, court order, or AI observation, and never drafts applications or statements. Decisions belong with you and your legal advisers.
What does CaseTime cost in the UK?
A free 30-day trial, then a one-time charge of $250 USD per case (roughly £200, depending on exchange rate), covering 5,000 pages of your record — not a subscription. Details on pricing.
