Divorcepath AI Assistants let an approved AI assistant work with your Divorcepath matters. You can ask the assistant to review matter readiness, find missing information, prepare profile or financial updates, generate work product, and return documents or calculation summaries for review.
The important rule is simple: an assistant can prepare work, but Divorcepath does not save changes or generate new work product until you review and approve the proposed action.
Download the Divorcepath assistant package
The Divorcepath assistant package gives Codex a ready-to-use skill for Divorcepath MCP. It also includes client-neutral prompts and workflow guidance you can reuse with Claude, ChatGPT/OpenAI MCP apps, and other approved assistants.
The package does not include organization details or credentials. Your assistant authorizes Divorcepath through sign-in after the MCP connection is added.
How legal teams use AI Assistants
Think of the assistant as a reviewed matter-work helper. It is most useful when you give it a practical legal workflow instead of asking it to use technical tools.
| What you want to do | What to ask | What Divorcepath returns |
|---|---|---|
| Get oriented in a matter | Review this matter and tell me what is missing before we generate financial statements and support calculations. | A matter summary, completion status, missing facts, and recommended next steps. |
| Complete party and child information | Update the spouse's birth date and residence from these notes, then show me the preview before saving. | A reviewable before-and-after preview for the selected party or child fields. |
| Update financial records | Add this employment income for the client and flag anything you need me to confirm. | A proposed income, asset, debt, or child-expense update with warnings and approval status. |
| Prepare a support calculation | Review the current calculation, ask me for missing facts, then prepare an updated calculation preview. | Changed fields, readiness warnings, support-result deltas, and PDF availability. |
| Find and generate court forms | Find the financial statement forms available for this jurisdiction and prepare the right form from the current matter profile. | Matching court-form templates, template-completeness readiness, specialized guidance where available, and generated Word documents after approval. |
| Prepare an agreement or other document | Find the separation agreement template and prepare a document from the current matter profile. | A reviewable document-generation request, then a Word document and section summary after approval. |
| Retrieve work product | Give me the lawyer-readable calculation summary and the Word file for the financial statement. | Plain-language summaries, inline previews, and signed links for available Word or PDF files. |
Review before anything is saved
Divorcepath keeps the review step on the server. That means the same safety rule applies whether you connect Claude Desktop, Codex, ChatGPT/OpenAI MCP apps, or another approved MCP-compatible assistant.
- The assistant reads permitted Divorcepath matter context.
- The assistant prepares a proposed update, calculation, form, or document.
- Divorcepath returns a preview with the target matter, before-and-after details, warnings, risk level, expiry, and approval status.
- You approve, decline, revise, or discard the proposed work.
- Divorcepath applies only approved work that is still current and belongs to the same organization and user context.
AI Assistants do not replace professional judgment. They help prepare and organize work so your team can review it more efficiently.
Good first prompts
Use prompts like these after your assistant is connected. Codex users can install the Divorcepath skill package first; Claude, ChatGPT/OpenAI, and other approved assistants can use the same prompts directly.
Review this matter and summarize:
1. missing party, child, relationship, finance, and disclosure facts;
2. whether support calculations can be prepared;
3. which financial statement and court forms are available for this jurisdiction;
4. what you recommend I do next.

If you find one clear update to prepare, show me the before-and-after preview and stop for approval.Prepare a lawyer-readable summary of the current support calculation.
If a PDF is available, give me the link. If not, tell me what approval is needed to generate it.What is available now

Current limits
- Document PDF conversion from generated Word documents is not automatic yet. Use the Divorcepath document editor/export flow when you need a PDF copy of a generated document.
- Detailed specialized readiness checks vary by jurisdiction and form type. If a specialized readiness check is not available, the assistant can still use the generic template-completeness check and prepare a reviewed document-generation request from the selected form.
- Disclosure upload, extraction, and applying extracted facts to profiles are planned assistant workflows. Until those are enabled for your organization, enter or confirm extracted facts through the available Divorcepath workflows.
- An assistant should ask for missing legal or financial facts instead of guessing them.
