'Change is hard, but DivorceMate Cloud is easy'

This article was produced in partnership with DivorceMate Software

A stalwart in the family law space for over three decades, DivorceMate Software is used by thousands of lawyers, judges and family law professionals across the country. This kind of success comes from laser-focus on a simple mandate: to provide the most up-to-date, critical family law software for the profession.

“We’ve been trusted and relied upon for over 35 years, and we pride ourselves on that,” says Faith Feldman of DivorceMate Software, “We are always trying to save our clients time and help them improve their practice by increasing their efficiency and streamlining their processes.”

To that end, the new DivorceMate Cloud, is the most efficient, easy-to-use software to date. And many long-time users who have made the jump are delighted with the new platform. Derryck Harry, lawyer at Brown Henderson Melbye Family Law in BC, called it “a seamless transition from the desktop product.”

“The new DivorceMate Cloud is everything that I’ve been waiting for,” he added.

Both legacy cloud and desktop software can be transitioned into the new platform within minutes, and users will be up and running with all their existing matters and extended capabilities at their fingertips.

Integrating Microsoft Word a gamechanger

Always listening to client feedback, the new DivorceMate cloud software combines the top-rated features of the existing products with a new, much-sought-after capability: Microsoft Word integration. DivorceMate’s highly regarded comprehensive agreements and court forms are all created in Word with all the features that come with it, Feldman notes.

“Our users wanted Word, they are comfortable with what they know, and we have been able to infuse our cutting-edge software with the reliability of Microsoft Word, combining these two worlds to create the most advanced family law software out there,” she says. “Users can access everything in Word and still have the flexibility of working anywhere, with the peace of mind that all data is secure on Canadian servers.”

For Allen Xiao, a lawyer at Axon Law in Alberta, the ability to fully customize forms using Microsoft Word in DivorceMate is extremely helpful: “the possibility of customization is endless.”

Everything at your fingertips

The new DivorceMate Cloud also allows for seamless collaboration between DivorceMate users. For example, if a DivorceMate user on the other side of a file sends a document to another DivorceMate User, the recipient can upload it right into their client matter and work on it.

And because it’s in the cloud, everything is always with you, says Ontario lawyer Marc Coderre.

“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in court or mediation and a judge or mediator requires a new calculation — I can always provide an update because I use DM Cloud.”

There’s also the option for DivorceMate users to move to LEAP, where they get everything LEAP Legal Software offers such as time management software and legal accounting, as well as access to all of DivorceMate’s forms, calculations, and agreements. For legal professionals who are interested in the functions that LEAP brings to the table as well as what DivorceMate offers, it can streamline a user’s processes to have everything you need in one place.

Change is hard, but DivorceMate Cloud is easy

Whether you’re a legacy software user or brand new to the DivorceMate universe, getting started on the newest version is “incredibly simple,” Feldman promises. Anybody can be up and running in the new DivorceMate Cloud within minutes, with no learning curve and no lengthy training.

That said, users have access to DM University, which provides free webinars, training videos on more advanced features, and other information to help you get the most out of the software. DivorceMate also boasts an incomparable support and customer service team, and Feldman attributes the company’s longevity and stellar reputation in no small part to their efforts. While the technology is constantly evolving, DivorceMate’s approach to its client base is unwavering.

“Any questions you have, we’re available, accessible, and willing to help. It’s one of the things that’s kept us going for over 35 years and remains hugely important to us,” Feldman says.

“We know change is hard, but the new DivorceMate Cloud is simple and we’re here to support you — now’s the time to make the switch.”
