When people hear about UnitedSupport’s automation and self-guided setup, one of the first concerns we get is:
“Are you trying to replace caseworkers, mediators, or family court professionals?”
🧠 The Role of Professionals Just Becomes Smarter
UnitedSupport takes care of the busywork:
Gathering data from both parents
Tracking parenting time
Logging payments and extra support
Summarizing agreement reviews every 6 months
This frees up caseworkers and mediators to focus on what they do best:
Reviewing disputes that actually need human judgment
Mediating unresolved issues
Advising on edge cases where guidelines don’t apply cleanly
🔧 Two Setup Options: Built-In Flexibility
State-Supervised Setup State employees can input or verify court orders, upload documents, and handle oversight in active support cases. The system works alongside their caseload, not against it.
Parent-Led Setup (Outside of Court) Parents using the system outside of a legal case can create agreements, but those agreements must be co-approved by both sides. If disputes arise, state workers or mediators can be brought in to review flagged issues, supported by a full history of tracked data.
🛑 Why This Actually Helps the System
Let’s be honest, courts are overloaded. Family services workers are overwhelmed.By automating the repeatable stuff, UnitedSupport:
Reduces unnecessary court filings
Cuts down on backlogs
Gives state workers real data to work from, not just one parent’s word
It’s not about replacing people. It’s about removing friction, waste, and confusion.
👩⚖️ Humans Still Matter, Especially in Family Law
At the end of the day, not everything can be decided by a screen. Parenting is personal. Conflict is messy. And fairness sometimes needs a human eye.
UnitedSupport is here to help both parents and professionals do their jobs better, not do them for them.
