Filing-ready details
Some MCF fields are needed for the parenting plan to reach the Filing-ready tier on the Plan Readiness Ribbon. These are captured directly inside the Parenting Planner via the Filing details modal — you don’t need to set them up at intake. They include:- Postal addresses for both parties (used on the title page + as service addresses)
- Children’s full dates of birth (filing-ready documents identify each child by name + DOB, not just age)
- Date of separation (also captured here if not at intake)
- Existing court orders cross-reference
- Witness names + qualifications
Updating your case file later
Anything in the MCF can be updated at any time:- Settings → Case Details for the broad intake fields
- Parties to this plan card on the parenting planner for names + children
- Filing details modal on the parenting planner for filing-ready fields
Privacy + who sees this
Your Master Case File is private to you. RLS policies on the database mean even RYTZ engineers can’t see your specific data without your explicit consent. The AI assistant uses your MCF only to answer your own questions, in your own session. We never sell user data, never share with third parties, and never train models on your specific case content. See Privacy and data for the detail.Next
