This is legal information, not legal advice.
My Court Guide provides legal information — not legal advice. There is an important legal difference. Legal information is general knowledge about how the law works. Legal advice is professional guidance applied to your specific facts by a licensed attorney. We provide the former, not the latter.
No Attorney-Client Relationship
Using My Court Guide — including creating an account, using the AI assistant, reading our guides, generating documents from templates, or communicating with us in any form — does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and My Court Guide or anyone affiliated with it.
No attorney-client privilege attaches to anything you share on this platform. Do not treat information you receive here as confidential legal counsel.
No Professional Legal Advice
The guides, templates, AI responses, case law summaries, and other content on this platform are intended to help you understand how legal systems work — not to substitute for professional legal representation. Laws change. Courts interpret statutes differently. What applies in one state may not apply in another. What worked in one case may not work in yours.
You are solely responsible for any legal decisions you make, filings you submit, and actions you take based on information from this platform. We strongly encourage you to consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction before filing anything with a court.
AI-Generated Content
My Court Guide uses artificial intelligence to help answer questions, research case law, and assist with document drafting. AI can make mistakes. AI responses may be incomplete, outdated, or inapplicable to your specific situation. AI-generated content on this platform should be treated as a starting point for your own research — not a final answer.
We connect to external legal databases including CourtListener and GovInfo to retrieve publicly available case law and federal statutes. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or currency of information retrieved from those sources.
State and Local Law Variation
Legal procedures, court rules, filing deadlines, and substantive rights vary significantly from state to state and sometimes county to county. Templates and guides on this platform are intended as general starting points. Always verify that any document you file meets the specific requirements of your court, jurisdiction, and case type.
No Guarantee of Outcome
Nothing on this platform guarantees any legal outcome. Providing you with tools, information, or document templates does not mean you will win your case. Legal outcomes depend on facts, evidence, judicial discretion, applicable law, and many other factors outside our control or knowledge.
About My Court Guide
My Court Guide was built by a parent who spent over a decade navigating family court as a pro se litigant. The platform exists to help other parents and individuals understand their legal rights and navigate the court system with more confidence. It is not a law firm and does not employ attorneys for the purpose of advising users on their cases.
When in doubt, consult an attorney. If you are facing a serious legal matter — particularly anything involving your children, housing, criminal charges, or significant financial consequences — please seek guidance from a licensed attorney in your state. Many states have legal aid organizations that offer free or reduced-cost help for qualifying individuals.
