Custody evidence documentation built around Utah code.
Chronica was built by a Utah mother in the middle of an active custody, DCFS, and protective order matter. Every category, every export, and every AI prompt is tuned to Utah statute — § 81-9 (custody), § 76-5-106.5 (stalking), § 78B-7-701 (cohabitant abuse), and § 62A-4a (DCFS duties).
Generic evidence apps don't speak Utah.
Most legal-tech tools are built for civil discovery in commercial cases — not for a Utah mother trying to document DCFS reports being weaponized against her, or parent-time interference across a hundred exchanges. Chronica's categories, its AI framing, and its export templates all assume Utah family court is the destination.
How to do it right
- 01
Log every incident against a statute
Chronica's categories are mapped to Utah code. A withheld weekend cites § 81-9-204(2)(k) (parent-time interference). A stalking incident cites § 76-5-106.5. A DCFS report you can show was retaliatory cites § 62A-4a.
- 02
Track DCFS interactions separately
DCFS reports that closed unsupported are a recognized coercive-control tactic in Utah case law. Chronica tracks 'DCFS reports against mom' as a distinct KPI, separately from 'DCFS cases opened,' so the weaponization pattern is visible.
- 03
Prepare for the custody evaluator
Utah custody evaluators want to see contemporaneous documentation, source materials, and a coherent timeline. Chronica's one-page pattern summary is designed to sit in an evaluator's file without requiring them to read the underlying record.
What we built for exactly this problem
Utah statute mapping built in
Every harm category, every AI-generated significance line, and every export cites the correct Utah code. No generic 'best interests' language.
Judge Bev — Utah-persona AI
Chronica's built-in AI assistant is framed as a Utah family court judge. It flags rows that need better documentation, suggests statute citations, and refuses to fabricate anything not in the record.
Court-neutral one-pager
The pattern summary export is designed for Utah judges and evaluators — restrained tone, no diagnostic labels, every KPI traceable to the underlying evidence.
Questions people ask
Is Chronica only for Utah cases?
No — the core evidence tools work anywhere. But the statute mapping, the DCFS tracking, and the AI framing are tuned to Utah first. Users in other states get the same forensic-grade documentation with generic 'best interests' language.
Can I use Chronica while represented by counsel?
Yes, and most attorneys prefer it. Chronica exports slot into pleadings, evaluator packets, and settlement conferences with minimal reformatting.
