How it works
How Wren helps you run your own case
Three steps, then everything Wren does along the way. You still run your case, with plain-English help at each step.
Getting started
Three steps, at your own pace
- 1
Tell Wren where you are
Children, money or both, and how far things have got. Wren shows the steps, forms and dates that usually come next.
- 2
Answer plain questions
One at a time, in plain English. Wren fills in the official forms it supports, works out your dates and builds your court bundle.
- 3
Check, sign and send it yourself
You stay in charge of your case. Nothing is filed, sent or signed for you.
What Wren does
The official forms, in plain English
Every question explained beside it. Your answers fill in the official form for you to check, sign and send.
Your dates and deadlines
Deadlines worked out from the published rules, with the rule shown, and every hearing in one list.
Ready for each hearing
A guide to every hearing, a countdown with what to bring, and a place for your notes afterwards.
Statements in your own words
One part at a time, with a made-up example of each. You write it, and Wren sets it out as a numbered draft.
The rest of your case, organised
Evidence, letters, service and costs in one place, orders turned into dated steps, and Case Radar to spot common problems early.
Private, and saved as you go
Stop whenever you need to and pick up where you left off. Your case stays private to your account.
What Wren does not do: give legal advice, tell you what to argue, or file, send or sign anything for you. Where your court papers say something different, your papers come first.
Questions
Good questions to ask
Does Wren do my divorce application?
No. You apply for the divorce itself online on GOV.UK. Wren helps with the parts that usually run up solicitor bills: sorting out the money through the court and arrangements for the children, with every form, deadline, hearing and statement along the way.
How is this different from having a solicitor?
A solicitor runs your case for you and can advise you on it. With Wren you run your own case: Wren explains the process, fills in the official forms from your answers, works out dates from the published rules and helps you prepare, but it does not give legal advice. If you want advice on your own case, a solicitor or barrister can give it.
Will Wren write my statement for me?
No. Courts expect a statement in your own words, and you sign a statement of truth saying you believe the facts in it are true. Wren takes you through each part with a made-up example and sets out what you write as a numbered draft. It never writes your evidence for you.
Can I use AI to write my statement instead?
The judiciary’s guidance on AI warns that chatbots are prone to error and can make up cases, citations and quotes, and a judge may ask whether one was used and what checks you made. Whatever you put to the court is your responsibility. Wren’s approach is to help you write it yourself.
Is this legal advice?
No. This tool helps you organise what you record and, where supported, shows rule-based calculations and general preparation guidance. It is not legal advice.
Does using it start a court case?
No. Creating an account or a case here does not start proceedings, notify anyone, or file anything with the court.
Can I save my work and come back?
Yes. Supported forms can be saved as you go, and you can sign out and return to the same case later. Your case content stays private to your account. A confirmed save is not the same as an unsuccessful or unconfirmed save, so check the save status before you leave.
Where do deadlines and preparation prompts come from?
Three different kinds of information can appear. Dates and instructions you type in are what you recorded. Some deadlines are calculated from published Family Procedure Rules or Practice Directions applied to dates you recorded, with a citation shown where that applies. Hearing preparation prompts are general guidance linked to a hearing type you recorded, for example an FHDRA, and may point you to Documents or Forms. A court order or case-specific direction in your papers takes priority over a calculated rule when they differ; always check your papers.
What if something looks wrong or unavailable?
Check recorded information against your papers and any official source. If a date, deadline or feature looks wrong, treat your papers as the authority. When the workspace says information is unavailable or a check could not complete, that is not an all-clear: it means the tool could not show that information just now, not that nothing is due.
