SecureSplit® vs. Family Law Software.
A transparent, feature-by-feature look at how SecureSplit® compares to Family Law Software, the long-standing desktop-era calculation tool used by many CDFAs® and family law attorneys, and where the gap has always been.
The gap at a glance
SecureSplit® runs in any browser, on any device, with real-time collaboration. Family Law Software originated as installed desktop software and still carries the constraints of that era.
Built for the full matter
Family Law Software stops at the math. SecureSplit® covers intake, modeling, collaboration, and court-ready reporting in one platform, so you stop handing data between tools.
Modern analysis
Only SecureSplit® applies AI to surface risks, compare scenarios, and draft settlement recommendations, not just run formulas.
The head-to-head breakdown.
Family Law Software has served the profession well for decades. But the expectations of divorce professionals, and of the clients you serve, have moved. Here is how the two platforms compare, category by category.
Strengths and weaknesses, side by side.
A fair look at where each platform earns its reputation, and where its limits show.
SecureSplit®
The modern platform- Cloud-native platform with real-time collaboration across attorney, CDFA®, mediator, and client.

- Secure intake portal that replaces Dropbox links, email chains, and paper PFS forms.
- Case management, document handling, and settlement reporting in a single workspace.

- SOC 2 Type II, bank-grade encryption, audit logs, and role-based permissions.
- Younger product; feature depth continues to expand with each release.
- Some state-specific support calculations still rolling out (see state rollout map).
