What DivorceMate Software does

DivorceMate Software Inc. is a privately held Canadian software company founded in 1989 and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, that builds specialized cloud-based practice productivity tools for Canadian family law professionals. The platform is structured around three core modules: Calculations (automating child support under the federal Child Support Guidelines and spousal support under the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines, including Section 7 expenses, lump sum present values, and life insurance needs), Forms (over 900 automated province-specific court and government forms auto-populated in Microsoft Word), and Agreements (hundreds of jurisdiction-specific clauses for separation agreements, marriage contracts, parenting plans, and mediation reports). Underlying technology includes a native Microsoft Word Add-in with WebView2 integration for Office 2021+, hosting on Amazon Web Services with Canadian data residency, multi-factor authentication, and the LawY AI legal research assistant drawing on CanLII with lawyer-validated responses. The business operates an annual subscription model (DivorceMate Cloud), a streamlined DivorceMate Lite product for financial professionals and mediators, and a strategic integration into LEAP Legal Software's broader practice management platform, which has absorbed 3,000+ DivorceMate users. Go-to-market combines a 30-day self-serve free trial, an enterprise sales team, an inside sales function, webinars, the DivorceMate University training portal (CPD-eligible), event presence at programs such as the National Family Law Program, and co-marketing with LEAP. Customer segments span solo practitioners, small-to-mid-market family law firms, larger enterprise practices, judges, mediators, financial professionals, and paralegals, all served exclusively within Canada.
