Think like aviation, finance, and medicine. Plan with checklists. Keep a ledger of proof. Follow repeatable protocols. Splitifi brings those disciplines to family trial practice so your record speaks for itself.
Trial is a process problem
Trial collapses when evidence is scattered, deadlines slip, and arguments wander. The cure is structural.- Checklist over charisma. Courts credit complete packets, not dramatic speeches.
- Ledger over memory. A dated, issue-linked timeline outperforms recollection.
- Protocol over improvisation. Repeatable steps for exhibits, witnesses, and objections reduce risk.
Winning trial posture is not louder. It is cleaner.
Splitifi is the operating system that enforces this order. Learn what the platform is and why it exists in What is Splitifi and see the system overview in Divorce OS.
Build a trial-ready case file
Your file is the product. Trial is the presentation. Splitifi assembles the product so the presentation is simple.
- Exhibit Builder. Organize documents by issue and date. Assign exhibit numbers or categories. Attach supporting files and notes so foundations are obvious.
- Deposition Support. Tag prior statements, event logs, and exhibits that tie to each witness. Build a prep pane so surprises become citations.
- Issue Summaries. Break the case into custody, finances, communications, and property. Attach proof to each section so arguments map to evidence.
- Live Case Dashboard. Access the entire case in a single interface during trial. No paper piles. No hunt through folders.
For templates and step guides, visit the Resource Library. If counsel is involved, see Attorney Tools for handoff options.
Exhibits that judges can adopt
Exhibits succeed when they are legible, sequential, and authenticated. Splitifi turns generic uploads into a coherent set a judge can reference without friction.
Pre-mark and sequence
- Numbering. Assign exhibit numbers with gaps for last-minute additions. Keep one sequence for all parties you plan to introduce.
- Short captions. One line that states what it is, what it proves, and the date coverage.
- Source integrity. Note origin and hash when available. Add a chain-of-custody note for sensitive files.
Foundations at a glance
Each exhibit in Splitifi can store foundation prompts that you or your attorney can use on direct or cross. Example prompts:
- Identity of the document and who created it.
- How it was kept in the ordinary course of life or business.
- How the date and author can be verified.
Timelines with citations
Attach exhibits to specific events. When you scroll the timeline, each entry displays linked proof. Judges see a narrative, not loose pages. Review Judge Tools to preview the style of outputs Splitifi produces.
Deposition and testimony support
Most examinations fail because counsel or parties cannot retrieve prior statements quickly. Splitifi solves the retrieval problem.
Witness cards
- Role and theme. What this witness proves and what they cannot prove.
- Key exhibits. Short list with direct page cites.
- Prior statements. Tagged excerpts from texts, emails, or deposition transcripts.
Cross-reference engine
When a witness says something new, search the dashboard by keyword or date. If a conflict exists, Splitifi surfaces the prior statement. This turns memory traps into calmly documented inconsistencies.

Issue-by-issue strategy maps
Judges decide issues, not vibes. Build a map for each one and attach proof where it belongs.
Custody
- Parenting patterns by week with missed exchanges labeled.
- School and medical attendance logs linked to dates.
- Messaging tone analysis and handoff compliance where relevant.
Support
- Income sources, transfer proofs, and variance notes.
- Expense baselines and any adjustments with receipts.
Property
- Title, value inputs, and cost basis where available.
- Source-of-funds labels so separate vs marital is clear.
These maps become the outline for openings, closings, and examinations. They are also what your attorney will use if you retain one late in the process. That handoff is fastest when the record is already clean. See Tools for Individuals for self-organization and Tools for Attorneys for collaboration.
Live case dashboard in court
Trial moves fast. Questions come out of sequence. Papers get shuffled. Splitifi keeps you in control because everything is searchable and issue-linked.
- Instant recall. Search dates, names, and terms. Jump straight to the cited page.
- Version history. If a document changed, the log explains when and why.
- Order tracking. Prior orders and compliance notes appear inside the timeline so your answer is grounded in the record.
Collaborate without losing control
Trial teams grow fast. You may involve counsel, paralegals, or experts. Splitifi lets you orchestrate access without surrendering the file.
- Permission sets. Invite by role. Restrict folders that hold strategy.
- Share links. Send a single exhibit or a bound packet with expiration.
- Audit trails. Every access is timestamped so provenance stays intact.
Security specifics live in the Trust Center. For architecture, see Patent Portfolio.
Keep strategy private and organized
Evidence is shared. Strategy is not. Splitifi separates the two cleanly.
- Private notes and trial checklists that only you can see.
- Reminders for court dates, filing deadlines, and exhibit deliveries.
- Bench memos and outlines stored for quick reference in court.
Confidence at trial comes from rehearsal and reach. You have both when strategy and proof live one click apart.
The day-of-trial playbook
Morning checks
- Confirm exhibit list with captions and page cites.
- Open the timeline to today. Tag expected references.
- Load witness cards and foundation prompts.
In the hallway
- If settlement talks occur, timestamp offers inside Splitifi.
- Generate a quick packet if the judge requests a narrow issue.
In the courtroom
- When asked for proof, search and display the exact page. Note the admit or deny in the exhibit log.
- Capture court directions as tasks. Set due dates so nothing slips.
Using Splitifi in the courtroom
Different courts have different rules. Splitifi adapts because it is a record system, not a presentation gimmick.
- If paper only. Print the bound packet Splitifi exports. Tabs match the exhibit list. Captions mirror the dashboard.
- If digital permitted. Keep the device on airplane mode. Use the dashboard to navigate and the printed packet to admit.
- If hybrid. Use digital to find and paper to mark. Note rulings inside the app so the post-trial order is faster to draft.
For judges who prefer concise briefs, export issue summaries with citations. That format lives inside Judge Tools and can be shared as needed.
After trial: orders and compliance
Trial ends. Enforcement begins. Splitifi closes the loop.
- Order parser. Translate the ruling into tasks with dates and responsible parties.
- Compliance tracking. Log deliveries, payments, and schedule changes against the order terms.
- Proof packets. If violations repeat, export a clean packet for enforcement or clarification.
This cycle prevents drift. It also creates a disciplined record if post-trial motions become necessary.
Chaos vs clarity: side-by-side scenario
Without Splitifi. The parent arrives with five folders, mixed emails, and unlabeled photos. When the judge asks for dates, answers change. Exhibits get misplaced. The story feels loud and thin.
With Splitifi. The parent arrives with a single dashboard and a bound packet. Each claim traces to a page and a date. When challenged, recall takes seconds. The story feels calm and complete.
The systemic view: why trials spiral
Family trials spiral for structural reasons. Fragmented intake. Duplicated work. Missing foundations. Incentives that reward activity over resolution. Splitifi fixes the structure so the incentives realign.
- Normalized intake. Files arrive labeled, dated, and linked to issues.
- Eliminated duplication. One source of truth replaces parallel folders.
- Faster judicial review. Timelines and exhibits make adoption easy.
