Casefile — getting started

Updated May 28, 2026

Casefile is built for Illinois parents documenting child support and custody disputes. Here's what to do first.

Step 1 — Add your case

From your dashboard, click New case and enter the docket number. We'll pull the public record where we can.

Step 2 — Start your log

Every event — every missed pickup, every late payment, every text — gets a timestamped entry. Photos and PDFs attach inline.

Step 3 — Export when needed

When your attorney asks for "everything you have," one click produces a court-ready PDF.
