It’s as if we were living in a 21 st century of robot divorcé(e)s.

To keep things streamlined (if not absolutely simple) for our customers, Easy Soft’s wildly popular CIS ( Case Information Statement) also collected your clients’ data under indexed tabs. The tabs’ labels were-you guessed it-numbers and letters, in deference to the New Jersey form.

Before, you’d have to go into each section separately to enter child support information, case management information, etc.

But then, we woke up from the universal robot dream.

Now, CIS, New Jersey’s most popular family law software , presents a new, Consolidated Case Info section. It’s easy to find, and it indexes your data collection efforts by the very-human, very simple name of the party- not by robot number.

For our attorney clients, this makes things far more intuitive.

There are now tabs for general information, court information, plaintiff’s information, defendant, children, your firm, opposing counsel, miscellaneous parties, and even miscellaneous values. All of the tabs are located in the same spot in the software. You needn’t hunt, click in and out, tear your hair, or turn into an automated robot to track anything down: it’s all right there at your fingertips.

Easy. Just like we always promise.

Once upon a time, this odd setup required divorce attorneys using New Jersey family law software to create a manual worksheet-separate and apart from the state Financial Affidavit form. It was a pain in the you-know-what. Even CIS—Easy Soft’s raucously popular New Jersey divorce software -used to provide just two columns under costs (Part D): one for joint historical expenditures (for the intact family), and the other for current expenditures (for your client, the filer). But this wasn’t sufficient for spousal support negotiations.

Not anymore.

Now, the all-new CIS 2.2 B provides a new option: “Show Individual Historical Expenditure.” Click the checkmark, and your family law software suddenly gives you the capacity to break your clients’ historical expenditures down-by each party. Yes indeed, we’ve added three extra columns in which you can include historical expenditures for the Plaintiff, the Defendant, and the children. Separately.

And voila! Suddenly, you have a baseline that tells the whole picture-for both parties.

You can use the new tool to print a separate lifestyle / historical expenditure report in five separate columns rather than two, and bring it with you during your spousal support negotiations.

You can use the new tool to create exhibits for your court documentation-whether it’s for motion practice and/or trial.

You can use the new tool for setting a more accurate baseline for future modifications in the event of changes to the financial picture of one party.

That’s Easy Soft: improving our divorce settlement software every single minute.

Solution : Those days are gone. Now, you can finally put your divorce clients to work!

Easy Soft’s popular New Jersey family law software is out with its newest version, CIS 2.2B. In addition to many other new features, the program comes with the optional CIS lite module, which enables your clients to gather their own information. They then supply you with a form that gets uploaded—automatically—in all the right places.

Your data entry problem? Gone!

First, you email your client the CIS lite form (go to File -> CIS lite -> Save CIS lite as a Word document). Instruct him or her to open it in Microsoft Word, and fill it out in the convenience of his or her home or office.

Next, look for the completed form in your email inbox. Give it a quick read to make sure all the fields are complete. If there’s anything missing, let your client know.

If it looks good, import the form into CIS 2.2 B (File -> CIS lite -> Import CIS lite ).

If it’s a new client, the software prompts you for the client’s position: Plaintiff or Defendant? Click Continue, and then upload the form.

That’s it! The file’s been imported. All of your new client’s data is now in the system. Case forms such as Confidential Litigant Sheet, Case Information Statement, Insurance Certifications, etc. are nearly complete. You can start figuring out optimal NJ child support payments, maintenance, and all the rest: using our easy-to-use, uncluttered Easy Soft interface.

What this means: You can now generate your forms from a common set of data automatically-without the need for laborious data transfer from program to program or manual copy-paste from one file to another file. If you need to track data or make corrections, you won’t need to hunt for it in multiple locations. You simply enter the plaintiff’s, defendant’s, children’s, and financial information just once -and it’s populated throughout this streamlined family law software: accurately, completely, and cleanly.

Along with this addition to CIS, you can also customize any form, and add unlimited numbers of your own forms. Existing forms include practice-related topics such as high-quality retainer agreements, and court forms such as complaints, pleadings, orders, etc. The forms come pre-populated to the extent possible—meaning that they pretty much fill themselves out.

Your entire practice group can use a single set of standardized forms-eliminating work duplication and errors, and increasing consistency.

You can view merged documents on-screen, and make any needed changes directly.

You can also save all of your prepared documents within the same CIS file. You can also save prepared forms as PDF or Word files, and email them directly from the program.

Finally, the forms come with a built-in editor and spell checker-eliminating the need for external word processing software.

One of the mothers said, “okay.” The other said, “absolutely not. She can have him.” Of course, the latter turned out to be the baby’s true mom.

If you’re a divorce lawyer in New Jersey or another state, you know just what we’re talking about. You can split a bank account in two, but you can’t do the same with the house. Ditto with your prized sports car, your artwork, your dog. You’ve got to let one spouse claim these things in full (okay, you might share custody of the dog), and then credit the other spouse with his or her “equitable” portion. Divorce Law 101, right?

Not so fast. If you’re like us and you don’t love math, it’s a nightmare trying to keep all of your client’s valuations straight-especially if the spouses are changing it up every two seconds.

That’s why we’re so proud of our Statement of Assets balance sheet-now a standard feature in the latest release (CIS 2.2 B) of New Jersey’s no. 1 family law software.

The sheet allows you to click on Asset Distribution (or liabilities distribution), and then-with a flick of your mouse click-”effectuate” distribution, just like the judge you were born to be. If your client wants to keep the house, then you assign him or her 100% distribution of that item, and assign 0% to his or her spouse. The worksheet crunches the numbers, then spits out a few key numbers-letting you see at a glance whether your client has a surplus or a shortfall of the whole.

To change it up is as easy (and dare we say, fun?) as taking another shot with a brand new digital camera.

Our Divorce Financial customers have long loved this feature of their divorce software. And if you’re a divorce attorney in New Jersey, you will, too.

First, a little background to catch you up. In 2006, the New Jersey legislature passed the Civil Union and Domestic Partnership Act, recognizing civil unions in New Jersey. This law gives legal recognition to civil unions-although proponents of gender-neutral marriage have made it clear that it’s not exactly the same thing. But we digress…

September 1, 2011 (just last week) saw day one of a 2011 Omnibus Rule which (among other things) requires a change in the terminology used in divorce documentation-including your clients’. From the passage of the Civil Union and Domestic Partnership Act until last Thursday, this change had not been mandatory.

In the most basic sense, what this means is that your divorce forms, financial affidavit ( new jersey case information statement), and other documentation can no longer use the terms “husband” and “wife.” Instead, all such documentation must use the words plaintiff and defendant in describing the parties to a divorce action.

As always, Easy Soft comes to the rescue. Our popular divorce software, otherwise known as Case Information Statement or CIS, has many new features (CIS 2.2B) which-among many, many other things-niftily replaces the old terms with the new. Instead of using the outmoded husband and wife terminology, we’ve employed “plaintiff” and “defendant” everywhere necessary: including the case data collection section, all worksheets, forms, pleadings, and template correspondence.

CIS 2.2B populates the fields with the proper terminology. Even some of our blog entries and examples have been changed. We’re not trying to brainwash you…we’re just helping you to keep up with the times which are a-changin’.

And with that, once again, Easy Soft has made compliance with new laws as easy and breezy as turning on your computer.

But ask any New York divorce lawyer. Even if you do know what you’re doing, it can be a zinger, too.

That’s because most law firms—including maybe yours—aren’t designed to leverage information to its eyeballs—like it can be. In this golden age of technology, divorce lawyers are capable of utilizing machines to a) enter raw information: names, addresses, birthdates, bank account balances, stock values, pensions, and the like— just once , b) leverage technology to perform calculations within the myriad of worksheets, statements, and other documents you are responsible for, and c) pour the calculations into said documents.

The concept of entering information just once is crucial. You don’t have to cross-verify your accuracy: just enter it once, accurately. You don’t have to chase down multiple locations to make an adjustment to one piece of data: you simply change it once, in one single place.

Even better, EzSupport-NY now comes with an electronic data collection module called “SupportNewYorkLite.” That gives your client a form to fill out—in the ease of his or her home or office.

Your client receives a simple Microsoft Word file. Once completed, he or she returns it to you (via email). You review it for any red flags or missed entries, then click to “import” it into your EzSupport-NY software.

When this is complete, you’ve just shrunk a few hours’ work into mere minutes. You’ve saved yourself time, saved your client fees, and increased the accuracy of your data, since your client knows his or her finances best. You’ve also made your client part of an overriding solution: and leveraged technology at its finest.

Don’t worry: you still get child support-alimony tax tradeoff analyses, pension worksheets, and other customizable worksheets, forms, and guidelines.

You’re still entitled to download mEasySoft, our companion mobile app for your Smartphones and tablet computers. For free.

Our latest change? We’re unveiling Divorce Financials 3.0: with 2011 tax changes.

What this means:

•  You get a new combined (federal and state) 2011 tax table to reference through your divorce settlement negotiations.

•  While selecting the number of dependents, our family law software will prompt you to enter child tax credits (if any). It’ll then provide the selected tax year’s available credit amounts.

•  As part of Alimony-Child Support Tradeoff Analysis, you can now keep the child support amount fixed, and hypothesize different alimony values. This is an excellent tool for cases in which the parties have already agreed on child support, and are looking to discover alimony or spousal maintenance values, i.e. high income cases.

•  New York attorneys : If you select your client’s tax filing state as “NYC”, our family law software will combine NY state and city resident tax rates for state taxes. This eliminates the need to account separately for city and state tax in New York.

•  New Jersey attorneys : The child support calculation engine has been updated to account for:

•  Equal parenting adjustments (per Deffler v. Deffler)

•  Healthcare and child care expenses

•  The Self-Support Reserve/Poverty reserve test, and guideline amounts

Easy? You bet.

Easy Soft’s Divorce Financials software is used throughout the country by law firms, state agencies (such as legal services), law schools and paralegal programs.

If you’re a NY divorce attorney , maybe you’ve just created a Statement of Net Worth. A complicated beast of a document that would have taken days took mere hours with our automated calculations, and auto-populating client intake form.

If you’re a real estate professional, you’re looking at a perfectly created, dead-accurate HUD-1 settlement statement.

Or maybe it’s the end of the month, you’ve completed your trust accounting, and reconciled each client ledger.

And so forth.

Now stop admiring for a moment. What’s the first thing you have to do?

That’s right: back up your data. No excuses.

If your software goes awry, we are there to help with our live tech support. We can always fix it—and if we can’t, we can replace it.

The same goes for your hardware: your PC, tablet computer, printer, or Smartphone. You’ve got the manufacturer, cell phone service provider, and other IT support personnel to help with these things.

But even we at Easy Soft cannot re-create lost data. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Make regular backup copies of your database/files and store them at a remote location, on an external hard drive, or in a data cloud (look it up: it’s the newest, hottest thing in IT).

For trust accounts, also maintain a hard copy of each client ledger on a monthly basis.

For family law software, backup your worksheets. Ditto for your real estate practice.
