Inability to view or print agreement. If "Travel with a child" was selected on Screen 7.6, but you did not specify which parent's permission was needed, you would not be able to view, print or save the agreement. This has been fixed.

FIXES in version 4.2— January 29, 2010

Bug, File > Save As. In version 4.1, (released for only part of one day), if you used Save As, DealMaker would give it an incorrect file extension. This has been fixed and files are now corectly saved.

FIXES in version 4.1— January 28, 2010

Saved files. Due to Windows 7, DealMaker now stores saved files in a different location than before. You can see where they are stored in File > Preferences, if you like, you can choose another location. You'll need to move previously saved data files from the old location (C:\Program Files\DealMaker) to the new location.
Note: If you open a file from the old location, it will be saved back there unless you use Save As to put it in the new location.

Save agreement as RTF. If you attempted to insert your own custom parenting plan into the body of the agreement, the RTF output would be incomplete. This has been fixed. The View and PDF modes were not affected.

Screen 8.2, item C1, Health Insurance. The screen and the related part of the agreement have been updated and reworked for greater clarity.

WHAT'S NEW in version 4.0— January 5, 2010

Fewer Exhibits. Following better practice, all property lists are now inserted into the body of the agreement. This is the way many judges prefer it. Parenting plans can be optionally inserted or attached as an Exhibit. Child support calculations (if any) continue to be attached as an Exhibit.

Minor tweaks. Numerous minor adjustments to make things look better and work more smoothly.

LAST YEAR'S NEWS

FIXES in version 3.2— August 14, 2009

Property lists, Screen IV, items 1 and 3. If a pension or real estate item had been entered in a property list at items 1 or 3, some items could not later be deleted from that list. Affected items would disappear from the visible list but remain in the document and appear the next time the popup was called or the agreement printed. This has been fixed.

FIXES in version 3.1— April 7, 2009

Program fails to stay registered. For some registered users, after closing the program DealMaker would return to unregistered status. This has been fixed.

Screen IV, item 6, popup item 4. Dividing Community Interest in Retirement Fund—at item 4 on the detail popup, you can enter the percentage each party will pay for document preparation, but DealMaker was not entering this information into the agreement. This has been fixed.

Screen VII, Other Holidays. Parenting plan, item 7—Special Days: If this was once checked and later unchecked, DealMaker would still print Special Days in the agreement and show it as an Exhibit. This has been fixed.

FIXES in version 3.0— March 3, 2009

Screens VI and VIII. Fixed payment fields so they update immediately after entry of monthly total amount.

Screens VI and VIII. Reworded language for various payment periods to make them grammatically correct.
