VFL Toolkit Support

Virginia Family Law Toolkit is available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Search for "Virginia Family Law Toolkit" or visit the App Store link on our website. The app requires iOS 26, iPadOS 26, or macOS 26 or later.

The app runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices with:

• iOS 26 or later
• iPadOS 26 or later
• macOS 26 or later

For the best experience, we recommend iPhone 17 Pro or later, iPad Pro (M5), iPad Air (M3), or any Apple Silicon Mac.

Open the app and navigate to Settings. Enter your attorney name, Virginia State Bar number, firm name, and contact information. This information is used to personalize PDF documents and form footers.

From the main screen, tap Matters and then the "+" button. Enter the client name, opposing party name, case number, court, and your client's role (Plaintiff, Defendant, Petitioner, or Respondent). You can then attach calculations, deadlines, and documents to this matter.

The client intake questionnaire is a web-based form you can send to clients before their consultation. It collects personal information, employment details, income, assets, debts, and children's information. When the client submits the form, the data is sent to your email via EmailJS. You can then import the data into a new matter in the app.

The calculator follows Va. Code Ann. § 20-108.2 using the 2025 Virginia Child Support Guidelines (effective July 1, 2025). Enter each parent's gross monthly income, the number of children, health insurance and childcare costs, and the custody arrangement. The app looks up the basic child support obligation from the guidelines schedule and calculates each parent's share based on their percentage of combined income.

The app supports all three custody arrangements under Virginia law:

• Sole custody (Va. Code Ann. § 20-108.2(G)(1)): One parent has primary physical custody
• Split custody (Va. Code Ann. § 20-108.2(G)(2)): Children are divided between parents
• Shared custody (Va. Code Ann. § 20-108.2(G)(3)): Each parent has 90 or more days of custody, uses the 1.4x multiplier

Spousal support follows the pendente lite guideline formula under Va. Code Ann. § 16.1-278.17:1:

• With minor children: (Payor gross × 26%) − (Payee gross × 58%)
• Without minor children: (Payor gross × 27%) − (Payee gross × 50%)

This is a guideline amount. The court may deviate based on the facts and circumstances of the case.

The retroactive calculator determines arrears when support should have been paid from an earlier date. Enter the monthly obligation, start date, and any payments already made. The app calculates the total amount owed including any credits for payments made.

From a support calculation, tap the PDF export button and select "Income & Expense Worksheet." The app generates a court-ready PDF with all income sources, deductions, and monthly expenses formatted per Virginia court requirements.

The app includes pretrial order templates for:

• Chesapeake Circuit Court (Contested Divorce)
• Norfolk Circuit Court (Civil)
• Suffolk Circuit Court (Divorce)
• Virginia Beach Circuit Court (Scheduling Order)
• Virginia Beach Circuit Court (Court Pretrial Order)
• Virginia Beach J&DR Court (Pretrial Order)

Additional templates are added regularly. You can also use the Custom Pretrial Order Builder for any Virginia court.

Enter your trial date and the app subtracts the required number of calendar days for each deadline. If a deadline falls on a weekend or Virginia court holiday, it is automatically adjusted to the previous business day. The app uses the current Virginia court holiday schedule.

Yes. After calculating deadlines, tap the calendar export button to add all deadlines to Apple Calendar or download an .ics file for Google Calendar or Outlook. Each event includes the deadline description and case reference.

The custom builder lets you define your own deadline schedule for any court. Add deadline items with the number of days before trial, a description, and any notes. The app calculates all dates from your trial date with the same business day adjustments used by the built-in templates.

The Brandenburg analysis walks through the 10 statutory factors under Va. Code Ann. § 20-107.3 that Virginia courts consider when dividing marital property. The app provides a structured worksheet for each factor with text fields for your notes and arguments.

The app generates three equitable distribution schedules:

• Property inventory: Marital and separate property with classification, valuation, and proposed distribution
• Debt schedule: All marital and separate debts with responsibility assignments
• Retirement schedule: Pension and retirement account details with coverture fractions

All case data is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. Data never leaves your device unless you enable iCloud sync, in which case it is encrypted end-to-end and synced only between your personal Apple devices.

No. Virginia Family Law Toolkit does not collect, transmit, or have access to any client data. We do not use analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs. The only network requests the app makes are for iCloud sync (if enabled) and optional third-party integrations you explicitly configure (Clio, OneDrive).

If you are signed into iCloud on your devices, the app can sync your matters, calculations, and deadlines across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. All data is encrypted end-to-end by Apple's CloudKit framework. You can disable sync in Settings.

Enable app lock in Settings to require Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode each time you open the app. This prevents unauthorized access to client data if your device is unlocked.

When generating PDF documents, the app automatically redacts Social Security numbers to show only the last 4 digits (e.g., ***-**-1234). Full SSNs are never printed on any exported document.

Connect your Clio Manage account in Settings by signing in with your Clio credentials. Once connected, you can import matters from Clio into the app. The integration is read-only and optional.

Connect your Microsoft OneDrive account in Settings. Once connected, you can upload generated PDFs directly to a folder in your OneDrive. This is useful for storing documents alongside your case files in your firm's cloud storage.

No. All integrations are completely optional. The app works fully offline without any external service connections. Clio and OneDrive integrations are convenience features for attorneys who use those services.
