What's Inside This Family Law Intake Form

This comprehensive template covers all essential areas for divorce case intake:

Personal & Contact Information - Full client details, preferred communication methods, and emergency contact information

Marriage Details - Marriage date, location, grounds for divorce, separation date, previous filings, and reconciliation history

Children & Custody - Detailed information about each child, current custody arrangements, parenting time preferences, and any special needs or concerns

Asset & Property Division - Real estate holdings, vehicles, bank accounts, retirement accounts, investments, business interests, and personal property inventory

Debt & Liabilities - Mortgages, credit cards, loans, and other financial obligations requiring division

Spousal Support Considerations - Income information, employment history, health status, and factors affecting support determinations

Seamless Workflow Integration for Your Practice

This intake form doesn't just collect information—it integrates into your existing practice management workflow:

Automated client onboarding with Stepper - Connect this form to Stepper to automatically create client records in your practice management software (Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther), send welcome emails, generate conflict check tasks, and schedule initial consultation calendar holds—all without manual data entry.

Secure document collection with Papersign - After intake, use Papersign to send retainer agreements, fee disclosures, and engagement letters for electronic signature, keeping your entire client onboarding process digital and linked to the original intake submission.

CRM and calendar sync - Automatically push new client information to your CRM, create follow-up tasks, and sync consultation bookings with your calendar through native integrations or Stepper workflows.

Designed for Compassionate, Professional Service

Family law requires both legal expertise and emotional intelligence. This form strikes the right balance—it's thorough enough to capture what you need for effective representation, but organized in a way that doesn't overwhelm clients who are already stressed. The clean, professional design with clear section headings and helpful descriptions ensures clients can complete the form at their own pace, on any device.

The conditional logic built into the form means clients only see questions relevant to their situation. If they don't have children, they skip the custody section entirely. If there are no protective orders, that section remains brief. This personalized approach respects your clients' time and emotional bandwidth.
