How family law practitioners should brief an AI

Extract key testimony
Prioritize admissions about income, assets, and liabilities, statements about parenting time and conduct, and — where the record preserves it — tone: how something was said to a co-parent often matters as much as what was said.
Build a chronology
Communications and conduct timelines dominate this practice: build them from texts, emails, and exchange records with exact dates and times wherever available, attributing every entry to its author.
Find contradictions
Focus on divergence between sworn financial disclosures and the documentary record, and between claimed parenting involvement and what the communications record actually shows.
Summarize the record
Organize around the governing factors as the record speaks to them, in a measured register — the likely audience is a judge or guardian ad litem, not a jury.
Draft from the record
Keep the tone measured and factual; inflammatory framing reliably backfires in family court, and specificity does the persuading.
Interrogate the file
Attribute every answer to its specific source and author; in this practice, who said it and when is usually the point.
