The following applies to all account types:

  • The file name is required. Provide a name that will help you to quickly identify the file on the file list and to easily search for it.
  • By default the application uses the Parent 1 and Parent 2 labels for the parties, to match the official state form. However, you may choose alternate labels from the drop-down list of common options, or enter custom names.
  • Select the desired law version if you need to use an older version of the law for this file.
  • Use the description field to save additional information about this file. The field content is not printed on any form. Use it for information you don't wish to include in the file name, but might use when searching for this file.
  • Use the File Permissions option to share the file with all account members or with your group members, or to keep it accessible only to you. This option is shown only when your account has more than one applicable choice.
