In today’s digital world, email is often the default way to send and receive information. But when it comes to family law, email is one tool that carries a high risk.

Family law cases involve highly sensitive personal and financial data - from bank statements and tax returns to custody agreements and support calculations. When these documents are sent back and forth via email, both lawyers and clients are exposed to privacy and security risks.

The Problem: Email Wasn’t Built for Confidential Legal Work

Despite its convenience, email is one of the least secure ways of handling confidential client data. Some of the biggest risks include:

• Data breaches and hacks: Email accounts are prime targets for cybercriminals, and a single compromised inbox can expose confidential files.
• Accidental mis-sends: One wrong keystroke and a sensitive document could be sent to the wrong person.
• Unencrypted attachments: Many attachments travel without proper encryption, leaving them open to interception.
• Lack of control: Once a document leaves your outbox, you have no visibility or control over who opens, copies, or forwards it.

Family law clients already feel exposed. They’re sharing intimate details about their finances, their relationships, and often their children’s lives. Knowing that their data could be sitting unprotected in someone’s email inbox only adds to their stress.
