Note that the changes to the default table types will not affect recurring matters. You will need to update your recurring matters for these updates to apply.

At any point, you can re-insert, remove and reorder these table types:

Open the matter.
Make sure you're on the Details & Correspondence tab.
Right-click on the Matter Details and select Edit Table Types.

The Edit Table Types will open in a new window.
Click the Show All Tables checkbox to display the full list of table types.
To add a table type to the matter, tick the Active checkbox next to the table type.

To add the parent and child table type simultaneously, hold Control and click (with your mouse) the parent matter table. This will active/deactivate the parent card/table along with all its child (related) cards/tables.

Clicking Reset Tables will reset all cards and tables to the default for the matter.

To remove a table type from the matter, untick the Active checkbox next to the table type.

A table type that contains data can't be removed from the matter. If a table type needs to be removed from the matter, return to the matter and remove the card or data from the matter, then remove the table type.

Click OK.

Substitution Tables

When creating a new Family Law matter, you must select the substitution tables to identify who is the client and other side (e.g Client/Applicant/Wife etc).

These options have been updated to include ‘de facto wife’ and ‘de facto husband’.

Table Type Relations

Table relations assist in enhancing the organisation of Family Law Matters. Table relations apply to the client, other side, and child tables.

Table relations allow you to easily recognise which details are associated with a particular party. For example, you can easily see which superfund relates to which party or which school applies to each individual child.

Family Law Table Types

Certain table types have been created and updated to assist streamline the Family Law process:

Critical Family Law Details:

The Critical Family Law Details table has been simplified to make entering critical family law information easier.

The Proceeding Details section of this table type has been removed. The proceeding details can still be entered in the Court Details table.

Child Details:

The Child Details table type has also been re-designed to simplify entering Child information.

You can now select the Parent 1 and Parent 2 names from the dropdowns. The names in the dropdowns will populate from all cards entered into the matter. You can also manually enter ‘If other’ if needed.

The Child Details will also display the ‘Age’ of the child. This age will calculate from the Date of Birth entered in the Child’s card.

Relationship Details (Previously Marriage/defacto separation details):

The Marriage/defacto separation details table has been renamed to Relationship Details. There is also a new section which calculates and displays the Length of Relationship. This is calculated from the date of cohabitation to the date of separation.

Court Details:

The current Court Details table has been cut down to only be relevant for Family Law matters.

Valuer:

The Valuer card will have an additional table appear when a card has been entered. This will allow you to enter any additional details on assets being valued.

Single Expert:

The Single Expert table has been added to table types. An additional ‘Expert Details’ table will appear when the new Single Expert details table has been entered. The ‘Expert Details’ table will allow you to enter what type of expert it is.
