More couples navigating divorce are turning to AI tools like ChatGPT to help draft texts, emails, and co-parenting communications, aiming to reduce conflict and improve tone during emotionally charged disputes. The growing trend reflects a practical need: clearer, less reactive communication can influence both negotiations and court outcomes, especially when written exchanges become evidence in custody or support cases. In the article, Bean, Kinney & Korman attorney Jill Seiferth observes that many clients are now “pre-clearing” messages through AI before sending them, helping them communicate more thoughtfully and avoid escalating tensions. While this can promote more productive interactions and even reduce legal costs, attorneys caution that overreliance on AI may backfire—particularly if it creates a disconnect between written and actual behavior or undermines credibility in litigation. The evolving use of AI in family law highlights both its utility as a communication tool and the importance of attorney oversight to ensure strategy, authenticity, and legal positioning remain aligned.

AI can shape how divorce disputes unfold, but misusing it can impact credibility, outcomes, and legal strategy. Bean, Kinney & Korman attorneys help clients use these tools effectively while protecting their interests.
