What it costs

Every step below includes every step above it. Nothing here is ever bought twice.

What things cost

Every elevated tier includes every deliverable and benefit of the tiers below it.

These are seven levels of packages, not seven separate products. Whichever one you buy, everything below it comes with it — buy the fifth tier and the first four are already yours, in the same account, at no extra cost. Start at the bottom, where it costs nothing, and move up only if your case makes you. You never pay for any of it twice.

If you purchased the lower plan, you only pay the difference. Buy Your State’s Law for seventy-nine dollars and later move up to First Draft, and First Draft costs you seventy. Every tier credits in full against every tier above it. Nobody should be penalized for starting small.

Also subscribe

Guideline schedules change every legislative session, and several states republish their figures every January without announcing it. A subscription is how you find out. These sit apart from the tiers above: a subscription does not unlock a package, and a package does not include a subscription.

State Watch

$9per month

Keeps what you bought current.

  • Automatic notice when your state changes its schedule, statute or rule text
  • Family-law developments in your state, in plain language, monthly
  • Your State Reference Packet reissued whenever it changes

The cheapest way to stop being the last person to hear that the law moved.

Best value

The Standard

$29per month, or $290 a year
  • A monthly briefing on what actually moved in your state's family law, in plain language
  • Every new plan, guide and reference we publish while you are subscribed
  • Your State Reference Packet reissued the moment your state changes it
  • A private community — a place for dads to meet each other and talk

This is upkeep, not a package. It keeps what you own current and brings you what comes next — it does not unlock a tier, and you never need one to subscribe. Twelve months at the monthly price is $348; the year is $290, so two of them are free.

Before you choose

Not sure which tier is yours?

There is no wrong place to start. Every tier already contains the products in the tier below it, so if you buy a lower plan now and move up later, you only pay the difference. Nothing on this page is ever bought twice. If you would rather have a person tell you which one fits your case, say so and one will. Ask which tier fits →
