For the past few months, Simply.Law has been testing the UK’s first ever free 24/7 consumer-facing AI-powered legal advisor, developed by its technology partner, Simply.Law. It provides advice based on the laws of England & Wales by default but, if the user indicates a different location, e.g. Scotland, it can also advise on other legal jurisdictions.
Simply.Law, part of the Simply Technology Group, develops AI-driven legal software. It has developed the legal advisor solution using AI tools such as ChatGPT4.0 from OpenAI, exclusively for Simply.Law to use in the UK market (Simply.Law is also in active discussions to launch similar partnerships in other legal jurisdictions).
In our article “Live transcripts from an AI legal advisor – how am I doing? (Part 1)”, we discussed how this new service has been performing and began to share some transcripts of live conversations with real clients.
In Part 6, we are sharing a second anonymised client conversation regarding a UK family/divorce enquiry:
Anonymised Client Family / Divorce Enquiry:

| Simply.Law Legal Advisor | Hello C, I understand that you require legal advice. Can you please confirm which town you’re located in so I can ensure that the advice I provide is relevant to the relevant legal jurisdiction? |
| Client “C” | Leicester England |
| Simply.Law Legal Advisor | Thank you for letting me know your location, C. How can I assist you today? |
| Client “C” | Is there under any circumstances where a consent order after divorce can be re opened or investigated |
| Simply.Law Legal Advisor | In some circumstances, it may be possible to vary or set aside a consent order after divorce. This will depend on the specific circumstances of your case. For example, if there has been a significant change in your or your former partner’s financial situation, this may be taken into account by the court. However, there are strict time limits and criteria that must be met in order for the court to consider varying or setting aside a consent order. I recommend speaking with an Simply.Law solicitor who can discuss your case in more detail and advise you on the best course of action. |
| Client “C” | Ok ..: please get me in touch with a solicitor |
| Simply.Law Legal Advisor | Very well – I will ask one of our solicitors to contact you on xxx@hotmail.com or 0798xxxxx. Have a great day. |
