The Problem
Court orders exist. Enforcement doesn’t.
Parents are overwhelmed and unrepresented. Attorneys waste hours untangling disorganized facts. The system fails both sides because nobody has the tools to organize reality.

For Parents — violations go undocumented

Most parents already have custody or support orders — but when those orders are violated, the system breaks down. Violations go undocumented or scattered across texts, emails, and screenshots. Parents don’t know what to do next or can’t afford help. 92% of low-income families get no legal help. Missed support payments and custody violations go unpunished because evidence is scattered and the process is impossible to navigate alone.

For Attorneys — cases arrive as chaos

Clients bring messy emails, random PDFs, and scattered screenshots. Attorneys spend hours organizing facts instead of practicing law — killing margins and slowing cases.

The Solution
Organize reality first. Then plug in legal help.
FamilyShield doesn't replace lawyers — it feeds them clean cases. Parents build structured, court-ready records. Attorneys receive organized files from day one. Everyone wins.
Guided Intake
Parents answer simple questions. We structure the timeline, evidence, and legal context automatically — no lawyer needed to start.
Evidence Builder
Upload texts, photos, bank records. Auto-tagged by violation type and ready for court or attorney review.
Court-Ready Packet
Generate a clean timeline, violation log, and exhibit list — formatted exactly how judges and attorneys want to see it.

Coming Soon
Post-Judgment Enforcement
You have a court order. They're not paying. Getting your money isn't automatic — but there are real legal tools to make it happen. FamilyShield will guide you through every option, step by step.
Enforcement Methods
Soon
Wage Garnishment
The court orders the other parent's employer to deduct support directly from their paycheck before they even see it. One of the most effective tools available.
Soon
Bank Levy
The court can freeze and seize funds directly from the other parent's bank account to cover unpaid support. Requires locating their financial institution.
Soon
Tax Refund Intercept
Federal and state tax refunds owed to the non-paying parent can be intercepted and redirected to cover unpaid child support automatically.
Soon
License Suspension
Driver's licenses, professional licenses, and recreational licenses can be suspended when support arrears reach a threshold set by your state.
Soon
Passport Denial
Parents who owe more than $2,500 in unpaid support can be denied a U.S. passport — a powerful tool if the other parent travels internationally.
Soon
Property Lien
A lien can be placed on property the non-paying parent owns. They can't sell or refinance without settling the support debt first.
Soon
Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA)
Your state's child support enforcement agency can pursue many of these remedies on your behalf — often for free. FamilyShield will help you prepare the documentation they need and guide you through the referral process.

⚠️ Not Legal Advice: FamilyShield provides educational information about post-judgment enforcement options. This is not legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Enforcement laws vary significantly by state, and your specific situation may require professional legal guidance. Always have a licensed family law attorney review your case before taking legal action.
