Cedent AI
California family law

Built for California.
Down to the courthouse.

Not a general legal assistant adapted for family law. Cedent was built from the first line around California procedure, Judicial Council forms and county rules.

Coverage

Three counties, loaded properly.

We add a county when its local rules, courthouse departments, clerk hours, filing procedures and fees have been checked by a person. Everywhere else in California, deadlines still calculate on the statewide judicial calendar.

Why this matters

Generic tools get California wrong.

Family law here has its own forms, its own deadlines, and procedures that change between one courthouse and the next. This is what jurisdiction awareness actually covers.

CCP § 1005 deadlines

Motion filing, service and opposition dates counted in court days rather than calendar days, adjusted for how you served: mail, electronic, or personal.

County court holidays

The statewide judicial holidays under CCP § 135 apply everywhere, and counties add their own closures on top. San Francisco Superior closes for Harvey Milk Day; a date that clears in one county can land on a closure in another.

Courthouse detail, not just county

Which department hears family law, when the clerk's window is open, how that courthouse takes a filing, and what it costs. Each record cites the court's own page and the date a person checked it.

Judicial Council forms

FL-150, FL-142 and RA-010 filled from the facts already in the matter, with the caption block populated from your firm profile and the courthouse directory.

Disclosure tracking

The preliminary declaration of disclosure clock, and the documents still missing against it. When tax returns or asset statements are overdue, the request is drafted for you.

Discovery procedures

Requests parsed into numbered action items, including scanned exhibits, with response deadlines computed so nothing in a complex matter is left uncounted.

Supported forms

Mapped field by field.

Three forms with real coverage rather than a long catalog that half-fills. More are in progress, and this page will say so when they arrive.

How form filling works - what gets sourced, what gets asked for, and what happens when you approve.
