Updates from our content partners

Family Law Education Network of Australia (FLENA)

New forms

  • Consent Orders
Automated orders make the process refreshingly simple. Instead of wading through a lengthy questionnaire, users simply work through checkbox lists to select the topics they want included, and as each topic is chosen, related checkbox lists appear so they can drill down into relevant sub-topics with just a few clicks. Any remaining variables are automatically highlighted in the generated document, where fast keyboard navigation lets users complete them in seconds. The result is a quick, intuitive way to build exactly the document you need, without the fatigue of traditional forms.
