Upload your documents. The AI drafts a structured position statement aligned to the welfare checklist — ready to edit, personalise, and file.
Build your position statement →A position statement is the document you file before most family court hearings — it sets out your case, what you are asking the court to order, and why. Writing one from scratch is daunting, especially when you are also managing documents, timelines, and a mounting caseload.
MyCaseOrganiser's Position Statement Builder reads your uploaded case documents, your timeline of events, and the facts the AI has already extracted — and drafts a position statement structured around the welfare checklist factors that the judge will apply.
Position statements are required before most hearings in children proceedings. Under the President's Guidance (2022), they should be no more than 2 pages for most hearings. This tool helps you stay within that limit while covering everything that matters.

No. Litigants in person write their own position statements regularly. The court expects them to be shorter and less formal than a solicitor's document. What matters is that it covers the key points clearly and is focused on the child's welfare.
The court will usually direct parties to file position statements before hearings. The deadline is set in the case management order — typically 3–5 days before the hearing. Always check your specific order.
Treat the AI output as a first draft, not a finished document. Read every sentence, correct anything that doesn't reflect your situation accurately, add specific evidence references, and have someone you trust review it before filing.
