The questions your team needs answered
Every collaborative divorce intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you and your spouse willing to work together to reach a divorce agreement without going to court for a trial? | This is the baseline eligibility check for collaborative divorce itself, since a no answer signals the client wants litigation, not a settlement-only process. |
| Is your spouse willing to participate in a collaborative divorce process with lawyers (and possibly other professionals) to negotiate a settlement? | Collaborative divorce cannot proceed without the other spouse voluntarily agreeing to retain their own lawyer and participate, so a no here is a strong fit issue. |
| Do you feel safe communicating and negotiating with your spouse (even if you disagree)? | Feeling unsafe negotiating with a spouse suggests the case may actually need a protective-order or litigation track rather than a collaborative one. |
| Are you and your spouse willing to share financial information honestly and completely? | Collaborative settlements rely on voluntary full financial disclosure instead of court-ordered discovery, so hesitation here undermines the whole model. |
| Are you currently living in the United States and planning to file for divorce in a U.S. state? | Confirms the matter is even eligible to be filed in a U.S. state, which determines whether your firm can take the case at all. |
| Do you want a divorce or legal separation to be started or finalized within the next 12 months? | Shows how soon the client wants the process started or finalized, helping prioritize consultation scheduling. |
| Are you willing and able to pay for a collaborative divorce, which usually involves each spouse having their own lawyer? | Collaborative divorce typically requires each spouse to pay for independent counsel, so affordability directly affects whether the client can sustain the model. |

Built for collaborative divorce workflows
| Cliont capability | Collaborative Divorce application |
|---|---|
| Weighted scoring | Weights spousal cooperation, safety in negotiation, and financial honesty highest, since those three answers determine whether a case is genuinely suited to collaborative divorce rather than litigation. |
| Conditional intake logic | When a client indicates their spouse won't participate collaboratively, the flow can be adjusted to stop asking collaborative-specific questions and surface the case as a standard Divorce lead instead. |
| Video intake widget | Lets the client describe their spouse's attitude toward cooperation and financial disclosure in their own words before your team ever reads the form answers. |
| CRM routing | Sends only profiles where both spouses show willingness to cooperate and disclose finances into your CRM, keeping contested or unsafe cases out of your collaborative-divorce pipeline. |
Common collaborative divorce lead scenarios
Both spouses ready to cooperate
Client confirms both parties want to avoid trial, will share finances honestly, and want the divorce finalized within 12 months, producing a high-scoring profile ready for a consultation.
Spouse refuses to participate
Client is willing but reports their spouse won't agree to a collaborative process with dual lawyers, which drags the score down and flags the case as a better fit for a contested divorce path.
Safety concerns during negotiation
Client indicates they don't feel safe communicating or negotiating with their spouse, a signal that steers the case away from collaborative divorce and toward a protective-order or litigation conversation instead.
Financial disclosure hesitation
Client is cooperative on process but unsure their spouse will disclose finances completely, which matters because collaborative settlements depend on voluntary full transparency rather than court-ordered discovery.
Jurisdiction or affordability gap
Client isn't filing in a U.S. state or can't commit to paying for two separate lawyers, both of which lower fit for a model that requires independent counsel on each side.

Collaborative Divorce lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle a client whose spouse won't agree to collaborate?
The intake asks the client directly whether their spouse is willing to participate in a collaborative process with lawyers, and a no answer pulls the score down sharply since collaborative divorce requires both parties' voluntary buy-in.
What happens if a client mentions feeling unsafe negotiating with their spouse?
That answer carries significant weight in the scoring, since collaborative divorce assumes both spouses can negotiate directly, and a firm can use that flag to redirect the client toward a Domestic Violence and Protective Orders or standard Divorce conversation instead.
Does the intake confirm the case can actually proceed in a U.S. court?
Yes, one question checks whether the client currently lives in the United States and plans to file in a U.S. state, which affects whether your firm can even take on the matter.
How does the intake account for how soon the client wants the divorce finalized?
The catalog includes a question about wanting the divorce or legal separation started or finalized within 12 months, which factors into the overall score without being treated as an emergency signal.
What if the client can't afford separate lawyers for each spouse?
The intake asks whether the client is willing and able to pay for a collaborative process, since the model typically requires each spouse to retain their own attorney, and a no answer lowers the fit score accordingly.
Can this intake tell the difference between a collaborative divorce lead and a mediation lead?
The questions are specific to collaborative divorce, including dual-lawyer participation and financial disclosure willingness, so leads that are really a better fit for Mediation or standard Divorce show up with a distinct answer pattern rather than being scored identically.
