Post-decree intake that captures the changed circumstance up front
Ask whether a final order already exists, confirm it was issued in the U.S., and pin down what specific circumstance changed — income, relocation, a parenting schedule problem — before a consultation gets booked. Prospective clients upload the current order directly in the intake.

- Already Have Final Court
- That Court Order Issued
- Live In Same U.S.
- Something Important Changed Since
- Asking Court Change Custody/Visitation
- Other Parent/Ex-Spouse Known And
- Ready File In Court
The questions your team needs answered
Every post-decree modifications intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Do you already have a final court order for divorce, custody/visitation, child support, or spousal support that you want to change? | Confirms there's an actual final order to modify — without one, this is a new custody or support filing, not a post-decree case. |
| Was that court order issued in the United States? | A non-U.S. order usually falls outside the jurisdiction where a straightforward modification can be filed, so this answer determines whether a threshold jurisdictional review is needed first. |
| Do you live in the same U.S. state where the order was issued, or does the other parent/ex-spouse live there now? | Establishes whether the state that issued the order still has jurisdiction, separating a routine local filing from a potential interstate custody question. |
| Has something important changed since the order (like income, job loss, a move, a child’s needs, or a parenting schedule problem)? | Courts generally require a substantial change in circumstances before they'll consider a modification, making this the core test of legal merit. |
| Are you asking the court to change custody/visitation or child support/spousal support (not just to enforce the current order)? | Distinguishes a true modification request from an enforcement or contempt matter, which needs a different filing and a different consultation. |
| Is the other parent/ex-spouse known and can they be contacted or located? | If the other parent or ex-spouse can't be located, the case may need service by publication or extra procedural steps before a modification can proceed. |
| Are you ready to file in court within the next 60 days to request the change? | Signals how soon the matter needs to move toward filing, which helps prioritize which leads should get a consultation booked first. |

Built for post-decree modifications workflows
| Cliont capability | Post-Decree Modifications application |
|---|---|
| Conditional branching | Routes anyone who answers no to already having a final order away from the post-decree flow, since that lead is a new custody, support, or divorce matter rather than a modification. |
| Weighted lead scoring | Weights the changed-circumstance question heavily so a request with no real change since the order was issued doesn't score as a priority consultation. |
| Document upload capture | Collects a copy of the existing decree or order before the consultation, so you review the actual terms in dispute instead of relying on the client's summary. |
| CRM lead routing | Sends qualified modification requests to your CRM with the jurisdiction, changed circumstance, and filing timeline already attached for the intake call. |
Common post-decree modifications lead scenarios
In-state support modification, ready to file
Client has a U.S. order in the same state, income has changed, and they want to file within 60 days — this combination scores as a strong, time-sensitive match.
Other parent has moved out of state
An order exists but the other parent no longer lives where it was issued, raising a jurisdiction question the intake flags before a consultation is offered.
Wants enforcement, not a change
The prospective client has a valid order and a real grievance, but answers no to actually wanting the terms changed — signaling this is an enforcement/contempt matter, not a modification.
No final order exists yet
The lead answers no to already having a final court order, meaning there's nothing to modify — the intake surfaces this early instead of letting it look like a standard post-decree request.
Other parent can't be located
A change has occurred and the client wants a modification, but the other party's whereabouts are unknown, which changes what the consultation needs to cover.

Post-Decree Modifications lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake separate a modification request from an enforcement complaint?
One question asks directly whether the client wants the terms changed rather than just enforced. A no answer here points toward an Enforcement and Contempt matter instead of a post-decree modification, so you're not offering the wrong consultation.
What happens if the prospective client doesn't actually have a final order?
The first question checks for an existing final order. If there isn't one, the lead isn't a true post-decree case — it may belong under Divorce or Child Custody instead, and the intake flags that mismatch rather than scoring it as ready.
Does the intake account for interstate custody situations?
Yes — it asks whether the client and the other party still live in the state that issued the order. A no answer signals a possible jurisdiction question that may overlap with Interstate Custody UCCJEA rather than a simple local filing.
What if the original order was issued outside the United States?
The catalog checks whether the order came from a U.S. court. A foreign order usually needs a separate jurisdictional review before any modification filing can move forward, so this answer changes how the lead should be scored and routed.
How does the intake judge whether there's enough of a 'changed circumstance'?
It asks directly whether something significant has changed — income, a move, a child's needs, or a parenting schedule issue — since that's the legal threshold most courts require before they'll even consider a modification.
Can the intake tell me if the other parent is hard to reach?
Yes, one question asks whether the other parent or ex-spouse can be located or contacted, which matters because an unreachable party can add service-of-process steps to the case before a modification is even filed.
