Litigant Case Prep Checklist

Splitifi is built for clarity, not chaos — and this checklist is your foundation. Whether you’re representing yourself, working with an attorney, or preparing for mediation, here’s a step-by-step guide to get your case fully organized and ready for action.

Step 1: Upload the Essentials

  • Marriage certificate and any prenuptial or postnuptial agreements
  • Recent court filings, including motions, responses, and orders
  • Custody schedules, parenting plans, or communication logs
  • Financial documents — tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, assets

Step 2: Build the Initial Timeline

  • Log 5–10 key events — such as separation, first filing, missed exchanges, or emergency motions
  • Tag each by issue: custody, support, property, etc.
  • Attach supporting documents when available

Step 3: Use Motion Control

  • Record every motion filed — by you or the opposing party
  • Log the date, outcome, and related documents
  • Watch for patterns in frequency, type, or response times

Step 4: Prepare for Sharing (When Ready)

  • Decide if and when to invite your attorney, mediator, or financial expert
  • Use permission settings to control what they can view or edit
  • Keep your private notes separate — for your eyes only

Step 5: Recheck Weekly

  • Update your timeline and motion log every 7 days
  • Upload new documents as they come in — don’t wait
  • Use Splitifi’s tagging to stay issue-focused, not file-focused

This Isn’t Just Admin. It’s Strategy.

Litigants who stay organized aren’t just more credible in court — they’re more confident outside of it. When you control your facts, you control your case. This checklist gives you the framework to move forward, no matter what the other side does next.
