Simple rule
Buy one notebook, not all of them.
The notebooks are situation-specific. A custody-only case does not need the divorce financial apparatus. A divorce with children usually does. A divorce without minor children needs the financial system and none of the custody structure. Compass can stand alone, but it is strongest as the state-source companion to whichever notebook fits your case.
Still unsure? Use the free checklist first. If your problem is primarily missing documents, dates, and court prep, a notebook may fit. If your problem is knowing what legal strategy to choose, you need legal advice from a lawyer if you can get it.
