Frequently asked questions

What questions should I ask in a family law intake?

Key questions include marriage and separation dates, whether minor children are involved, type of matter (divorce, custody, support), and whether there are urgent safety concerns. This template covers all essential family law intake fields.

Should I ask about children in every family law intake?

Yes. Even if the client says there are no children, confirming this is important for determining jurisdiction, support obligations, and property division. Include child-related questions but make them optional.

How do I handle domestic violence cases at intake?

Include an urgency indicator question to flag safety concerns. If domestic violence is indicated, prioritize the intake and consider immediate protective measures. This template includes an 'urgent matter' checkbox for this purpose.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes. This intake questions builder is completely free. Customize the questions, download as PDF or DOCX, and use them in your practice. No account required.

Yes. Click on any question text to edit it inline. You can also toggle questions on/off, mark them as required, and reorder them within sections.
