Compare Canadian family law software
Four tools account for nearly every Canadian family-law software evaluation. Here they are side by side — audience, public pricing, and positioning — with the full head-to-head comparison behind each one. Every claim about a competitor is sourced from that vendor's own public website.

A comparison table shortlists candidates; it doesn't pick a winner. The reliable method is one completed matter run end-to-end through each trial. Our buyer's guide covers the full checklist — calculations, court forms, integrations, data residency, and contract terms.

Which Canadian family law software publishes its pricing?
As of July 2026: Divo publishes $126 CAD/user/month on its pricing page, Divorcepath publishes B2C tiers and $80–100/user/month B2B pricing, and DivorceMate publishes a $75–$200/user/month range on 36-month terms. ChildView does not publish pricing — firms must request a quote. MySupportCalculator is a free consumer tool with a paid report tier.
DivorceMate vs Divorcepath — what's the short version?
DivorceMate is the long-standing incumbent (now owned by LEAP Legal Software) with two decades of court acceptance and deep Ontario roots, sold on 36-month standard terms. Divorcepath is the modern cloud-first challenger with transparent pricing and an established court-form library. They represent the two generations of the market — which is why most firm evaluations shortlist one of each, plus Divo.
How is this comparison sourced?
Every factual claim about a competitor comes from that vendor's own public website, and each comparison page links its source. Where a vendor doesn't publish something (like ChildView's pricing), we say so rather than guessing. If you spot something out of date, email help@divolaw.com and we'll correct it.
How should a firm actually run an evaluation?
Pick one matter your team already completed manually, run it end-to-end in each candidate's trial, and compare the outputs and the time taken. Our buyer's guide walks through the full evaluation checklist — calculations, forms, integrations, data residency, and contract terms.
