DV Evidence Admissibility Checklist & Court-Ready Template Library

A state-by-state, jurisdiction-specific library of evidence documentation templates, checklists, and affidavit language that victims and advocates can use to self-collect abuse evidence in ways that maximize legal admissibility. Each template includes: what evidence to gather (photos, texts, dates, witnesses), how to photograph/timestamp it correctly, what NOT to do (avoid hearsay, chain-of-custody breaks), and pre-drafted affidavit language that fits state rules of evidence. Sold as a downloadable PDF workbook or simple web portal where victims input their information and the template auto-populates a court-ready affidavit draft.

Original Problem

Domestic abuse victims struggle to safely document evidence and build legal cases against abusers

Victims of domestic violence need secure, timestamped documentation of abuse allegations, injuries, and communications to support legal proceedings, but lack safe platforms to store evidence without abusers discovering it. Current solutions (screenshots, notes, photos) are easily deleted, disputed, or discovered by perpetrators, leaving victims vulnerable and their cases weakened in court. Victims need encrypted, legally-admissible evidence collection tools that protect their safety while building irrefutable documentation.
