Question 1

Is Civly accepted by California courts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Civly records are court-admissible in California. Every message is SHA-256 hashed with timestamps and stored immutably. You can export certified PDF transcripts for your Superior Court case. Under Cal. Fam. Code § 3011, courts consider the best interests of the child — and documented, professional communication supports that standard.

Question 2

How much does Civly cost for California parents?

Accepted Answer

Civly costs $59 per year per parent — the same price nationwide. That's less than $5/month, compared to OurFamilyWizard at $240/year. There are no hidden fees, no per-message charges, and no upsells. Everything is included: AI messaging, custody calendar, expense tracking, and court-ready exports.

Question 3

Can my California attorney access Civly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Civly includes a free attorney portal with read-only access to all messages, calendar events, and expense records. Your California family law attorney can view everything they need without you exporting files. Invite as many attorneys or mediators as you need at no extra cost.
