# Legal

## Current context

Will has shared that legal-related issues are a major stressor.

Current legal/admin context:

- Will is not able to pay everything the court ordered.
- Will recently had a contempt hearing.
- A new contempt order arrived yesterday.
- Will has not looked at the order yet because legal-related things trigger anxiety and can trigger panic attacks.

## Assistant support boundaries

Atlas can help with:

- Organizing timelines and facts
- Drafting neutral summaries or checklists
- Preparing questions for an attorney or relevant professional
- Tracking deadlines and follow-ups when Will explicitly approves reminders

Atlas should not:

- Give legal advice as if it were a lawyer
- Contact anyone, submit documents, or take external action without explicit consent
- Assume facts not recorded here or provided by Will

## Tracker

Use [[Legal Order Triage Playbook]] for a low-anxiety way to extract deadlines and required actions from legal orders.
