For Australian family law firms
Run disclosure, not a pile of email attachments
Matter Folio requests documents from your client and the other side, tracks every item, and builds the balance sheet and disclosure bundle from what you accept.
Four steps from first request to final bundle
Every requested document has its own status, so you always know what's outstanding, and so does your client.
Step 1
Request
Open a matter and tick the documents you need. Your client gets an email invitation.
Step 2
Collect
Clients upload from their phone, one item at a time, and see what's still needed.
Step 3
Review
See each document beside its details. Accept it, or ask for a new copy with a reason.
Step 4
Disclose
Produce the balance sheet and a page-numbered bundle with an Index to Disclosure.
Everything disclosure needs
Built for property matters under the Family Law Act, where the duty of full and frank disclosure applies to both parties.
Document requests
Request family law disclosure documents item by item. Clients upload from their phone, see what's still needed, and get reminders automatically.
Document review
Review family law disclosure documents side by side with the client's details. Accept, ask for a new copy with a reason, or classify it for the balance sheet.
The other side
Exchange disclosure with the other party's lawyers securely. They upload to their own page, you review before figures count, and a register records it all.
Balance sheet
Build a family law balance sheet from accepted disclosure. Every figure links to its document. Model settlement outcomes and export in the court's layout.
Index and bundles
Build a page-numbered disclosure bundle from accepted documents, with an Index to Disclosure, tab pages and page stamps. Export a whole matter any time.
Parenting arrangements
Build parenting proposals, count nights with school holidays by state, and see the child support care band for each. Free on every plan.
More than a file-sharing portal
A portal moves files. Disclosure needs more: a list of what was asked for, the status of each item, reminders, checking what arrives, and proof of what was served.
- Each document requested as its own item, with the period it covers
- Automatic reminders while anything is outstanding
- The other side's figures checked before they count
- A register of what you disclosed, and when it was downloaded
- A balance sheet and bundle built from accepted documents
Practical guides
Written for family law practitioners.
Disclosure
The duty of disclosure in family law property matters: a practical guide for firms
Since 10 June 2025 the duty of full and frank disclosure sits in the Family Law Act itself. Here's what it covers, when it applies, and how to organise disclosure so it holds up.
Practice
Why family law disclosure stalls, and how to keep it moving
Most delays in disclosure come from a handful of predictable problems. Fix the way documents are requested and tracked, and most of the chasing disappears.
Disclosure
Getting disclosure from the other side without the email chaos
Exchanging disclosure with the other side is often the slowest part of a property matter. An agreed list, item-level tracking and a register of what was served make it manageable.
