How common legal processes work in the United States — the stages, who decides, roughly how long it takes, what it costs, and how much of it changes depending on the state you are in. A reference, not a case tracker. It asks you nothing.
Family law, housing, work, money and debt, and small claims. Inside them: divorce, child custody, child support, eviction, deposits and repairs, housing discrimination, unpaid wages and overtime, discrimination and harassment at work, losing your job, debt collection and being sued, credit reports and errors, bankruptcy, filing a small claim and being sued in one.
Each situation opens on what the process is, its stages in order, who decides it, and the ranges for time and cost — framed as what usually happens, never as what will happen to you.
Inside each situation are five to ten specific things worth understanding, plus a catch-all for whatever did not fit. That is where the value is. A generic explainer tells you what a divorce is; separating dividing property, retirement accounts, the family home, health insurance and remarriage into topics of their own is what makes the difference between reading about a process and understanding your own.
Almost everything in family law and housing is state law. Mochi Legal describes the shape that is common across the US and states, on every single situation, how much it varies between states — then points at that state's own court site for the specifics. Reviewed state-specific writing lives only in a clearly labelled appendix. There is no jurisdiction picker, because a national app quietly presenting one state's rule as everyone's is the most dangerous thing it could do.
Substantive statements link to the official page they came from — court self-help guides, statutes, government agencies — folded under the section that uses them, one tap away rather than buried in an About screen. Nobody has to take the app's word for anything.
No account, no sign-in, no questionnaire, and nowhere to type a name. The only thing kept is the list of pages you bookmarked, and it never leaves the device. There is an optional Face ID lock, a switch that hides the screen in the app switcher, and a Leave button that closes what you have open — because a share of the people reading about eviction or domestic violence are doing it on a shared phone.
Mochi Legal provides general legal information, not legal advice. It cannot tell you what to do about your own situation, predict what a court will decide, calculate a support amount or a property share, or tell you whether you qualify for anything. It does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not replace a licensed attorney or a court self-help center. It points at legal aid, court self-help centres and safety resources throughout.
