Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- Index the records and the lawyer's proofing note by topic. Write no sentence of the affidavit, including the jurat and the list of exhibits.
- What the lawyer must review
- The parent writes the facts in their own words and you settle them. The affidavit is sworn evidence. California's 2026 guidance: candour to the tribunal cannot be delegated, and you verify citations and factual statements before anything is filed. CAPTA confidentiality (42 U.S.C. § 5106a(b)(2)(B)(viii)) and Model Rule 1.6 keep the draft out of a public tool. State juvenile rules set the form.
