See custody, property, and safety flags before you book a consult
The intake asks whether the divorce has already been filed, whether minor children need a parenting plan, and whether property or retirement accounts must be divided, then requests the filed petition or marriage certificate before the lead reaches your CRM.
The exact intake your divorce leads complete
This is the real 8-question guided intake for Divorce — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.

The questions your team needs answered
Every divorce intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you looking to start a divorce or respond to a divorce that has already been filed? | Whether the prospective client is initiating or responding to a filed divorce changes urgency and any response deadline they're already facing. |
| Do you or your spouse currently live in the United States? | U.S. residency is a threshold question for whether your firm can take the matter at all. |
| Do you know which U.S. state you (or your spouse) live in where the divorce would be filed? | Not knowing the governing state signals a jurisdiction question that needs clarifying before a consult is booked. |
| Are you currently married to the person you want to divorce? | Confirming the marriage is current and to the named spouse rules out annulment or already-finalized cases that belong elsewhere. |
| Are there children under 18 from this relationship (including adopted children) who will need a parenting plan or custody/visitation decisions? | Minor children needing a parenting plan adds custody complexity that typically requires more attorney time and a different scope of representation. |
| Do you and your spouse disagree about any major issue like property/debts, support, or parenting time? | Disagreement over property, support, or parenting time is what separates a contested matter likely to need litigation from an uncontested one. |
| Is there any concern about safety, threats, stalking, or domestic violence involving your spouse? | A safety disclosure changes how the lead should be handled and reviewed, rather than being scheduled like a routine consultation. |
| Do you have property, retirement accounts, a home, or significant debts that would need to be divided? | Property, retirement accounts, or significant debts to divide indicate asset complexity that affects both case value and consult length. |

Built for divorce workflows
| Cliont capability | Divorce application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | A lead with minor children, disputed issues, and property to divide scores meaningfully higher than an uncontested, no-kids case, so your team can see which consults are worth prioritizing. |
| Guided video or form widget | Sensitive questions like safety concerns and marital status are asked in a structured sequence rather than an open text box, reducing the chance a domestic violence disclosure gets missed. |
| Document upload capture | Prospective clients who were already served can upload the filed petition or summons at intake instead of describing it verbally on the call. |
| CRM routing with lead context | Jurisdiction, filing status, and asset complexity travel with the lead into your CRM, so the attorney reviewing it isn't starting from a blank intake sheet. |
Common divorce lead scenarios
Contested divorce with kids and assets
Spouses disagree on parenting time and there's a home, retirement accounts, and debts to divide, which stacks several high-value signals into one lead.
Amicable divorce, no children, no property fight
Both parties agree on the split and there are no minor children involved, so the intake still qualifies the lead but flags it as a shorter, lower-complexity consult.
Safety concern disclosed during intake
The prospective client indicates threats, stalking, or domestic violence involving the spouse, which the intake surfaces distinctly so it isn't routed like a routine scheduling request.
Unclear jurisdiction or residency
The person isn't sure which U.S. state governs the filing, or neither spouse currently lives in the U.S., which changes whether your firm can even take the matter.
Responding to an already-filed petition
The prospective client was served rather than initiating the divorce, which typically comes with a response deadline and shifts how quickly the consult needs to happen.

Divorce lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle a domestic violence disclosure?
The intake captures the safety question directly rather than burying it in free text, so a yes answer is visible in the lead record instead of surfacing only after you've already scheduled a standard consultation.
Will the intake still send me leads for simple, uncontested divorces?
Yes. A case with no disagreement over major issues and no minor children still comes through, it's just scored differently than a contested matter with custody and property disputes so you can prioritize your calendar.
Does the intake distinguish between filing a divorce and responding to one?
Yes, the first question separates prospective clients who want to initiate a divorce from those who were already served, which matters for deadlines and how you triage the file.
What if the prospective client doesn't know which state has jurisdiction?
That's captured as its own answer rather than assumed, so you can see when residency or jurisdiction needs to be clarified before you commit consultation time.
What documents can I request before the consultation?
You can require a copy of the filed petition or summons if the person was already served, along with a marriage certificate, so you're not starting the consult from zero.
Is this intake different from what you'd use for child custody or property division on their own?
Divorce intake covers marital status, jurisdiction, children, disputed issues, safety, and property together as one matter; if a prospective client only needs a standalone custody or property modification, the Child Custody or Property Division and Equitable Distribution intakes are built for that instead.
