FALDP Launches New Automated Document Portal Site

PALM COAST, Fla. - March 14, 2016 - PRLog -- The Florida Association of Legal Document Preparers - FALDP - launches our Automated Document Portal site. We include document sets for Florida family court filing based on Florida Supreme Court approved forms. These frequently requested document sets are: Paternity, Dissolution of Marriage with No Children and No Property, and Dissolution of Marriage with Children. We are rapidly expanding our document sets and will soon add modifications of child support, child custody and alimony.

The value of our Automated Document Portal is its time saving, ease of use, and efficiency. (The low cost is an added bonus.) The site user completes a questionnaire and the information entered fills the fields in the form set, eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information on individual forms. While the Automated Document Portal was created for FALDP member document preparers, we are also extending access to document preparers who are not members, and consumers.

The monthly fee for non-FALDP members - consumers and document preparers alike - is $99 per month unlimited use. Access for FALDP members is only $25 per month. Whether the user is a consumer and pays $99 and actually only needs one time access; or a non-member document preparer who uses the site multiple times during a month - the benefits are substantial. Any one of these document sets could take hours to prepare manually, but with our Automated Document Portal the forms are completed in minutes. The user can either print the forms immediately or save to their computer.

In Florida, around 75% of family law litigants are self-represented (proceeding pro se). Many consumers proceed pro se because they cannot possibly afford an attorney. And some consumers will put off a divorce, paternity action, or other legal need simply because they do not have the funds for an attorney and they don't have the knowledge to complete the forms. This is "The Justice Gap" - and it has been growing wider and deeper for years. Until now. FALDP is proud to offer our Automated Document Portal as one way to bridge the justice gap. Consumers and document preparers can easily and efficiently prepare basic family law forms without spending hours scouring the internet, entering the same information in multiple forms time after time, AND at a reasonable cost.

With the help of freelance coder, Jeremy Markham, FALDP created the Automated Document Portal to help make Florida a better place to live. Jeremy says, "I'm happy to be part of an innovative solution such as the FALDP - Document Portal site because it's helping consumers with documents that could otherwise be quite costly to prepare. This is one of the more impactful projects I've been a part of and I look forward to seeing the positive ways it will help consumers."

The Florida Association of Legal Document Preparers - FALDP, LLC - is a wholly private enterprise, receiving no taxpayer assistance whatsoever. FALDP is supported primarily by membership fees, Turn Key Business Bundles and online courses. FALDP members are nonlawyer legal document preparers who offer their document preparation services to consumers who are self-represented. Document preparers may not offer legal advice or provide legal representation.
