Hearing reminders for family law clients.
If your client misses an RFO or DVRO hearing, the judge can make custody, support, or restraining orders based only on the other side's request. CourtRemind™ sends a text reminder before every hearing on your calendar, so your client is there to be heard.
- RFO and DVRO hearings, mediation, review hearings, trials
- Reads your Google or Outlook calendar; nothing new to learn
- English or Spanish, and clients reply C to confirm
Why it matters
In family court, the hearing goes on without your client.
There is usually no warrant for a missed family law hearing, but the result can be worse: orders made without your client's side of the story. What happens after a missed hearing.
Orders without your client
On a Request for Order, the judge can rule on custody, visitation, or support based on the other party's papers, or take your client's own request off calendar.
Restraining orders
If the protected party misses the hearing, the temporary order can expire. If the restrained party misses it, the court can grant an order lasting up to five years.
No court reminders
Most court-run reminder programs cover criminal and traffic cases. Family law clients usually hear about hearings only from their attorney.
How it works
Set it up once. Every hearing is covered.
Connect your calendar
Google Calendar, Outlook, or any calendar link. Read-only: nothing on your calendar is ever changed.
Add each client once
Your client's phone and language, plus anyone your client approves, like a relative who helps with child care on court days.
Reminders go out automatically
7, 3, and 1 day before. When a hearing is continued, the reminders move with it.
