Family Law

FED | Family Law

We have recently added Table relations to Family Law matter types.

Card table relations have been implemented for Family Law matters which will enable all related cards to be linked together.

Table relations provide smart association of related parties and/or relevant data through both cards and tables to ensure matter types are easier to complete.

An example of a Family Law table relation is Respondent and Respondent’s Solicitor.

Some of these card tables are not Standard tables but are available in Other possible tables and when added to the matter through edit table types will link with the relevant related card or table.
