California Family Law

Built for California.
Down to the county.

Cedent isn't a generic legal AI adapted for family law. It was built from day one around California family law procedure, Judicial Council forms, and county-level court rules.

Why this matters

Generic AI tools get California wrong.

Family law in California has its own forms, deadlines, and procedures - and they vary by county. Here's what a jurisdiction-aware AI handles that others can't.

CCP § 1005 Deadlines

Motion filing, service, and opposition deadlines calculated in court days - not calendar days. With adjustments for service method (mail, electronic, personal).

County Court Holidays

Each Bay Area county has its own court holiday calendar. A deadline that's valid in San Mateo might fall on a court holiday in Alameda. Cedent knows the difference.

Judicial Council Forms

FL-100 (Petition), FL-105 (UCCJEA), FL-140 (Disclosure), FL-150 (Income & Expense) - auto-filled from verified case facts with a completeness audit.

Local Court Rules

Filing instructions, cover sheet requirements, and procedural differences indexed per county. The AI drafts filing instructions that match your specific courthouse.

Preliminary Disclosure Tracking

PDD deadlines and missing document identification. When required tax returns or asset statements are overdue, the AI drafts a request for the missing items.

Discovery Procedures

Discovery requests parsed and broken into numbered action items. Response deadlines calculated. Plan generated so nothing gets missed in complex cases.
