Probative tests every numbered paragraph of a family-law affidavit against the Evidence Act — then drafts the Schedule of Objections for you. In minutes, not the night before.
Upload the affidavit as filed — PDF, Word, or pasted text. Probative reads every numbered paragraph, tests it against Australian evidence law, and hands you back a report you can act on. You review and confirm every line; the AI never has the last word.
Hearsay, lay and expert opinion, tendency and coincidence, credibility, form, and the s.135 discretion — each numbered paragraph is assessed on its own and flagged Inadmissible, Risk, or Admissible, with the section that applies.
This is the part nobody loves doing the night before. Probative turns your analysis into a formatted Word document — with the court heading and party names already drafted in — listing the paragraph, the passage objected to, and the ground. The formal admin is done for you; you settle and file.
| Para | Passage objected to | Ground |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | “He is clearly a narcissist…” | Opinion — s.78 |
| 12 | “My mother told me that…” | Hearsay — s.59 |
| 23 | “It is obvious he cannot be trusted…” | Submission |
Tighten the wording, refine the basis, or untick any objection you won’t press — right on screen, before a single word is generated. The judgment stays yours.
Sealed PDF from the Court Portal, a .docx, or pasted text — you choose the affidavit’s page range so annexures and exhibits are left out.
The evidentiary standard is calibrated to the hearing type, because what flies on an interim won’t at trial.
Affidavit text is analysed and discarded — never written to our database. Privilege and confidentiality come first.
A branded tax invoice — with your matter name and number — is emailed for every report, ready to allocate as a disbursement to the client’s file.
For barristers and sole practitioners, or firms with multiple fee earners and per-report requester tracking.
Filter and read on screen, then download a formatted PDF for your file or your instructing solicitor.
Probative keeps building. These are on the way — the near-term sharpening of the engine, then new areas of law.
Relevance (s.55–56) is the objection that depends on the issues in dispute — so today Probative doesn’t guess at it. Next, you’ll give a short outline of what’s in issue, and Probative will weigh each paragraph for relevance against your case — not a generic one.
Objection schedules across multiple affidavits in the same proceeding — a separate report and a separate Schedule of Objections for each deponent, billed together as one charge.
Automatic application of the local legislative variations — because evidence law is not uniform across Australian jurisdictions.
The same evidentiary engine, calibrated to other jurisdictions and their admissibility rules:
One charge, up front. No subscription, no seat fees, no minimum commitment. When you add objections, the document is included — nothing more to pay.
Probative is an AI-assisted evidentiary tool for qualified practitioners; it is not legal advice. It analyses the affidavit’s numbered paragraphs only — not annexures or exhibits — and you review and confirm every line before filing. Relevance is not yet automatically assessed.
