Who this template is for

Family Law Consultation is built for law firms and in-house legal teams who need to intake a matter with the facts, parties and consent recorded.

  • Law firms and in-house legal teams working in legal & professional services.
  • Teams who need to intake a matter with the facts, parties and consent recorded without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing conflict checks delayed by missing intake detail with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are clients and claimants — the form asks them 21 questions across 2 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of conflict checks delayed by missing intake detail and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 14 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features conditional validation: if “Are there children involved?” is Yes, “Children's names and ages” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Is anything already going through a court or mediator?” is Yes, “What stage has it reached, and are there any dates?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Are there any safety concerns we should know about?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Tell us only what you are comfortable putting in writing”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form

How is this different from the consultation booking form?

The Legal Consultation Booking Form takes an appointment slot and the basics. This intake gathers the case facts so the appointment itself can be spent on advice.

Should the form ask who was at fault?

No. It asks what has happened and what the client wants. Fault framing produces long answers that a family lawyer usually has to set aside.

Is a completed form confidential?

Handle it as you would any client file, and say so above the form. The safety question is exactly why routing should go to a named person, not a shared inbox.

Can the client leave the children questions blank?

They only appear when the client says children are involved, and the arrangements box is optional so nobody has to describe a fragile situation in a form.

Is the Family Law Consultation template free to use?

Yes. You can preview and test Family Law Consultation on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

What does the Family Law Consultation template ask for?

It asks 21 questions across 2 pages, 14 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.

Can I edit the Family Law Consultation form after copying it?

Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic and card layouts, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.
