The CaseMate Process

1

Download Official Forms

We link you to the official Family Court WA, FCFCOA, or Magistrates Court website to download the correct forms yourself.

2

Follow Our Step-by-Step Guidance

Our guides explain each section of the form: what information is required, what to write, and common mistakes to avoid.

3

Fill the Forms Yourself

YOU fill in the official forms based on our guidance. Courts require documents in your own words.

4

Get AI Coaching (Optional)

Use our AI Affidavit Coach to review YOUR written drafts. It flags issues and suggests improvements — but won't write for you.

5

Lodge with the Court

Lodge your completed forms yourself via the eCourts Portal or in person at the court registry.

When CaseMate is Right for You

  • You want to understand the process before starting
  • You need guidance on what information goes where
  • You want to self-represent and need educational support
  • You want AI feedback on your draft documents
  • Straightforward matters where you can follow guides

When You Need a Lawyer

  • Complex property or business divisions
  • International custody disputes
  • Allegations of child abuse
  • When the other party has a lawyer
  • If you're unsure about any legal matter

Our Commitment

We provide accurate, plain-English guidance to help you understand and complete court forms yourself. However, laws change, courts update their requirements, and every situation is unique. When in doubt, seek professional legal advice.
