One calm record of your family matter.
Your children, the maintenance, the child costs, the handovers and every message between you and the other parent, kept in one place. Upload the documents you already have. Standpoint Family reads them, you confirm what is right, and the record is kept so that nobody can quietly change it.
Example case. Every name and number is invented.
The marriage ends. The paperwork doesn't.
Months of missed payments, school fees nobody agrees on, a handover that went wrong, a message you need to find again. When it matters, it's all in five places and half of it is in your head.
What was paid, and when?
Proving arrears means going back through a year of bank statements, month by month, and hoping you didn't miss one.
Who said what?
Messages spread across WhatsApp, email and SMS, some deleted, all easy to dispute.
Will anyone believe me?
A notebook or a spreadsheet can be changed by anyone, any time. When you hand it in, that's the first thing that gets questioned.
Three steps. No retyping.
You don't build the record by hand. You give it what you already have, and you stay in charge of what it says.
Upload what you have
Your court order or settlement, the parenting plan, bank statements, receipts, school invoices. A PDF, a Word document or a photo taken on your phone.
Check what it found
The Record reads each document and shows you what it found: the maintenance you're owed, the contact arrangements, each payment, each child cost. Nothing counts until you accept it.
Keep going, calmly
From then on, the months, the handovers and the messages add up by themselves. When you need to, you hand an attorney or the court one clear, certified pack.
Everything about the children, in one place.
Each part of Standpoint Family does one job well, and all of it feeds the same record.
Your documents fill in the record
Upload your divorce order and the Record finds the maintenance, the contact arrangements and the shared costs in it. Upload a bank statement and it finds each payment and matches it to the right month. Upload a receipt and it attaches it to the matching bank line.
- Reads PDFs, Word documents and phone photos
- Shows you what it found and which document it came from
- Nothing counts in any total until you press Confirm

Maintenance, month by month
Every instalment since the order: what was due, what was paid, on which date, and the bank line that proves it. Arrears add up by themselves, and so does the history a maintenance court asks for.
- Paid, part-paid, late and missed, each marked plainly
- Every payment linked to its proof
- A maintenance arrears statement you can download

Child costs, split the way the order says
School uniforms, doctor's visits, karate. Log a cost once, attach the slip, choose the child, and the split is worked out for you. Both parents see the same numbers.
- Receipts matched to bank lines on their own
- Each cost filed against the right child
- Share a cost as a request the other parent accepts or declines
Shared child costs

A calendar both of you can live with
Alternate weekends, the Tuesday afternoon, half of each school holiday. Set up once from the parenting plan, then always up to date. Swaps are asked for and agreed on the record, and the calendar changes when both of you say yes.
- "Whose weekend is it?" answered at a glance
- A reminder the evening before each handover
- A one-tap check-in at handovers, with location only if you switch it on

Messages that stay exactly as they were sent
One place to talk about the children. Every message is dated and kept. Nobody can edit or delete one, not you, not the other parent, not us. You can see when a message was delivered and read.
- Requests to swap days, share a cost or change a time
- Accepted or declined, on the record
- The whole thread downloads as a PDF

Ask the Record
Ask a plain question and get an answer drawn only from your own record, with the entries it used. It will tell you what the record shows. It will never tell you what to do, and it will never reveal the other parent's private notes.
- "How much maintenance is in arrears?"
- "Which months did he miss?"
- "When are the children next with their father?"

Everything about the children, ready when you need it
School and class, teachers' numbers, the doctor, medical aid, allergies, medication, emergency contacts, passports. Shared with the other parent so nobody is ever without the information.
- Reminders 90, 30 and 7 days before a passport expires
- A household budget laid out like a Rule 43 financial disclosure, private unless you share a line
- Assets and debts, each with room for its supporting document

A record you can stand behind.
Plenty of apps help parents talk and share a calendar. Standpoint Family is built around one idea: when the day comes that you need to prove what happened, the record should already be there, complete, readable and beyond argument.
It reads your documents
You don't type your life in twice. The order, the bank statements and the receipts you already have become the record, and you only confirm what's right.
Nobody can quietly change it
Messages, documents, payments, costs, contact events, requests and incident notes are fingerprinted and linked, one to the next. They are never rewritten: a mistake is fixed with a dated correction. Every other change is logged in the same fingerprinted history. A check runs on the whole chain and says so if anything was altered.
A court pack with a certificate
One PDF with a certificate of record, the maintenance statement, the costs, the contact log, the messages and your shared PDFs and photos in date order, with a list of the fingerprint of every document.
Made for South Africa
Maintenance arrears the way our courts look at them. Rands, not dollars. A budget in Rule 43 layout. Your consent recorded against the exact terms and privacy notice you accepted.
You don't need his cooperation
One parent can keep the whole record alone, before the divorce, during it or years after. If you later move to Gold and invite the other parent, they see the shared record. Your private notes stay yours.
Safety built in, not added on
Survivor mode hides your address and phone from the other parent without telling them. Parents with a protection order use it free. Incident notes are only ever yours.
a41f…9c27be0…31dd902…e5720529…0dfBuilt for the hardest cases too.
Many parents using a record like this are keeping it because they have to. We designed for that from the start.
Survivor mode
Your home address and phone number disappear for everyone else on the case, including in the history and in exports. From the moment it's on, messages and requests from the other parent are kept on the record without you having to see them. They are not told. Costs and contact entries they add still appear, because they are part of the record.
Free with a protection order
Tick the box when you sign up and add the order's case number, the court and a copy of it. Your record opens straight away at no cost, with no card and with survivor mode already on. We check the order afterwards.
Private notes stay private
Incident notes and private notes are never shown to the other parent or the attorney, never included in a court pack, and the Record won't repeat them to anyone else who asks.
Your client's matter, already organised.
Instead of a shoebox of statements and a phone full of screenshots, you receive a record that's been kept all along, and a pack you can put before the court.
Read-only access
The parent who opened the case invites you. You read and download the shared record. You can't change anything, and you never see either parent's private items.
Court-ready output
A maintenance arrears statement, a contact breach report, and the full court pack with its certificate of record. A signed certificate can be requested for handing in.
A clause for settlement agreements
A record-keeping clause approved by an admitted South African attorney, free to use in parenting plans and settlements. Read the clause.
Subpoenas and court orders
How we respond, what we produce and how quickly, set out in advance. Read the policy.

What parents ask us.
Is this legal advice?
No. Standpoint Family keeps and reads your record. The Record will tell you what your record shows, with the entries it used, but it will never tell you what to claim or how a court will decide. For that, speak to an attorney.
Will a court accept it?
We can't promise how any court will treat any evidence. What we can do is show exactly how your record was kept: every entry dated by our system, fingerprinted and linked, with corrections added rather than written over. The court pack sets this out and comes with a certificate of record, and a signed certificate can be requested.
Do I need the other parent to join?
No. You can keep the record alone on Silver. If you want the other parent on the case, Gold covers both of you. They then see the shared record, never your private notes.
What if the Record reads a document wrongly?
That's why nothing counts until you confirm it. Every proposal shows what the Record read and which document it came from. You can correct it before accepting, or tell it it's not right.
Can the other parent see my notes?
No. Private notes and incident notes are yours alone. The other parent and the attorney can't see them, they are never in a court pack, and the Record won't repeat them to anyone else.
Where is my information kept?
Your record is stored in the United Kingdom and Western Europe, not in South Africa. The app itself runs in the United States, emails are sent through a US service, and the Record reads documents and answers questions using Google Gemini. The Privacy Notice sets all of this out, and your consent is recorded against the exact version you accepted.
What happens if I cancel?
Your case stays readable and can be exported for 12 months from cancellation, or longer if you choose, up to 10 years. We email both parents 30 days and 7 days before it is permanently deleted.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. It installs on your phone like an app, straight from the browser, and it works on a laptop too.
Start keeping the record today.
Standpoint Family is opening to parents soon. Tell us you're interested and we'll let you know the day it does.
