The intake form that captures the facts before emotions take over

Structured online questionnaire before the first consultation: marriage date, separation date, children, income, asset overview. Your client compiles the key facts calmly — the meeting is reserved for actual advice.

Emotions crowd out facts

In separation and custody matters you face a person in crisis. The conversation revolves around hurt and fear — marriage date, matrimonial property regime and account balances only surface when prompted, often incomplete.

Chasing facts afterwards

After the meeting, the children's birth dates, the spouse's income and the separation date are missing. Your staff chase them by phone and email — unproductive hours nobody can bill.

Scribbled notes instead of a file

The intake ends up as handwritten notes or email fragments in the file. Whoever takes over the case reconstructs the basics from scratch — a costly risk in maintenance calculations.

How it works with Questee

  1. 1

    Set up the intake form once

    You define the questions your firm needs before every family law mandate: marriage date, property regime, separation date, children with birth dates, both incomes, property and assets. Your front office sends the link with the appointment confirmation.

  2. 2

    The client answers calmly

    One question per screen, on phone or laptop, with draft saving. Anyone who needs to look up the marriage date pauses and continues later. Documents such as payslips are uploaded right along.

  3. 3

    You advise instead of taking minutes

    Before the meeting, the complete factual basis sits in front of you, structured. You use the first consultation for what only you can do: legal assessment, strategy, building trust — instead of collecting data.

Built for confidential mandate data

Conditional logic

Custody questions only appear if there are children — the form adapts to the case.

File upload

Payslips, prenup or bank statements uploaded right in the form — not as loose email attachments.

Save and resume

Clients can pause and resume via the same link — nobody has every document to hand immediately.

Password protection

Optional access protection per form — sensitive mandate data stays behind an extra barrier.

Hosted in Germany

GDPR-compliant with an Art. 28 DPA — no US cloud between you and your duty of confidentiality.

Email notification

Your front office is notified the moment an intake arrives — no manual checking.

Questions from legal practice

Is this compatible with attorney-client confidentiality?
Questee hosts exclusively in Germany, encrypts all transfers and provides the Art. 28 GDPR data processing agreement. Data sits tenant-isolated in a German database — not with a US provider subject to the CLOUD Act. As a firm you decide which processors meet your confidentiality duties; we provide the contractual and technical basis.
Why not just a fillable PDF?
PDFs come back printed, photographed or half-filled — and nothing enforces required fields. An online form validates input instantly (a date is a date, required fields are filled), works on a phone and collects uploads in one pass. The result is a complete factual basis instead of another round of follow-up questions.
What should a family law intake form ask for?
Proven essentials: marriage date and place, property regime or prenup, separation date, children with birth dates and current residence, both spouses' incomes, property, pensions and notable assets, plus the matter in the client's own words. You decide the structure — Questee simply makes the capture consistently complete.
Does the form replace legal advice?
No — deliberately not. The form captures facts; legal assessment, advice and strategy remain with you as the lawyer. That is precisely the point: the intake takes data collection off your plate so the consultation has more room for actual advice.
What if the client doesn't know all the answers?
That's what save-and-resume is for: the client pauses, digs out the prenup or payslip and continues later via the same link. Fields nobody knows offhand can be optional — you then see exactly where the gaps are, rather than discovering them mid-consultation.
How does this land with clients in emotional distress?
Surprisingly well — because the form provides structure where there is currently chaos. One question per screen, in your wording, with no time pressure and nobody watching feels less intimidating than rapid-fire questions in a meeting. Many clients experience compiling the facts as a first step towards regaining control.
Can I match the form to our firm's branding?
Yes — on the Pro plan with your logo, your colours and without Questee branding. The form looks like part of your firm's presence, not a third-party tool. Embedding it on your firm's website is possible too.
