Outline a custody declaration the judge can verify
This page lists three turns, the messages you send to the AI one after another in the same chat, and then a check of the answer. Keep it open next to your chat. Each turn shows the next thing to paste, with the values you entered already filled in. Nothing is sent from this page, and your conversation stays in the AI tool you are using.
Governs the best-interest factors, the presumptions, and the form of the declaration.
Changes the structure entirely: a response answers their paragraphs before it argues anything.
What the client told you, with dates, places, and who else was present. Paste it raw.
Schedule, decision-making, exchanges, communication, and any conditions, in operational terms.
The exhibits that exist right now, not the ones you hope to get.
What is actually true and good. Leaving this blank costs the declaration credibility.
Watch for these throughout
Best-interest factors are statutory and differ meaningfully by state. Draft from the current statute, not from a factor list that sounds familiar.
Allegations of substance use or family violence trigger their own procedures and presumptions, and often an evaluation. Coordinate with case strategy before putting them in writing.
Recordings of the other parent or the child are governed by state wiretap and consent law. Confirm admissibility before attaching or quoting one.
Hearsay rules apply unevenly in custody proceedings. Flag every secondhand statement and decide deliberately whether it stays.
Quoting the child is high risk. It invites an alienation counter-narrative and can put the child in the middle of the case.
