## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Family Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/family-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | The tool writes no part of the declaration and suggests no wording for it: no draft, no outline, no placeholders, no suggested paragraphs. Index the annexures against the lawyer’s draft, list every assertion in that draft with no support in the facts the lawyer has collected, and check it against the state court’s declaration form and its page and exhibit limits. Keep the file out of any public tool. |
| What the lawyer must review | Confirm which state's family law governs Keep protected addresses, medical information and children's identifiers out of public tools Apply Rule 1.6 and California's guidance on confidentiality |
| Written for | United States |
| Applies to | [Draft an affidavit or witness statement from the proofing note](https://ailawframework.com/practice/family-law/draft-an-affidavit-or-witness-statement-from-the-proofing-note.md) |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: The tool writes no part of the declaration and suggests no wording for it. It indexes the annexures against the lawyer’s draft, lists every assertion with no support in the collected facts, and checks the form and limits.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 23 September 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- State law governs this work. Check the statutes, court rules and professional-conduct rules of the state where the matter is. Do not import an Australian statute, form or court AI practice note.
