Online questionnaire

Online questionnaire

At the heart of our streamlined and efficient online divorce process lies a carefully designed system of digital questionnaires that enables us to gather all the necessary information in a secure, accurate, and user-friendly manner. Our goal is to make the divorce process as clear and convenient as possible, and the way we collect client data plays a crucial role in achieving that.

Whether you're just exploring your eligibility for our services or you're ready to begin the drafting process, our system is built to guide you every step of the way through carefully structured online forms. Below, we explain both types of questionnaires we use, their structure, purpose, and how they help make the divorce process smoother for both the client and our legal support team.

1. Initial Pre-Qualification Questionnaire

The first point of contact many clients have with our platform is through the Initial Pre-Qualification Questionnaire. This short, scenario-based questionnaire helps clients determine if they are eligible to use our online divorce services before committing any time or money.

This form is accessible by clicking the "Find out if you qualify" red button on our homepage. Once clicked, clients are redirected to a simple, interactive pre-qualification form tailored specifically to the divorce laws and requirements of their respective state.

Each questionnaire dynamically adjusts based on the answers provided. For example, in the state of Maryland, questions may include:
    1. Where did the cause of your divorce occur?
    2. Are you a resident of Texas (or is your spouse)?
    3. Do you know the whereabouts of your spouse?
    4. Do you and your spouse agree on the divorce terms?
    5. Is your spouse willing to sign the paperwork?
Depending on the answers provided, clients will either receive a message confirming their eligibility (along with a Divorce Case ID), or their case will be rejected with explanation until the criteria for the Virtual Online Divorce is met.
Idea
The key benefits of this step include:
    1. Free and fast: No payment is required to check your eligibility.
    2. State-specific logic: Customized to comply with local jurisdiction.
    3. Automated evaluation: Instant clarity on whether you can proceed.

2. Full Questionnaire (210 Questions)

Once a client qualifies and registers for our services, they gain access to the Full Online Questionnaire, which consists of around 210 carefully structured questions. This comprehensive form is designed to gather all the information our paralegals need to begin drafting the client's divorce paperwork accurately and in compliance with state law.

The full questionnaire is split into logical sections based on the type of information being requested. Some of the main categories include:
    1. Personal details: Names, addresses, and identification information for both spouses.
    2. Marriage information: Date and location of marriage, grounds for divorce, date of separation.
    3. Children (if any): Custody preferences, visitation schedules, child support details.
    4. Property & assets: Homes, vehicles, joint accounts, and how they should be divided.
    5. Debts & liabilities: Loans, credit card debts, and other financial obligations.
    6. Spousal support: Whether alimony is requested or not, and under what terms.
    7. Legal history: Any restraining orders, criminal history, or previous divorce attempts.
This questionnaire is built with conditional logic, meaning clients are only shown questions relevant to their case. For example, if there are no children involved, questions related to custody and child support will be skipped entirely.
Clients can complete the form at their own pace. The platform allows answers to be saved and returned to at a later time. Once completed, our team reviews the responses, and if everything is in order, the case is marked ready for the document drafting stage.

The main advantages of our Full Questionnaire include:
    1. Comprehensive data gathering: No need for back-and-forth emails.
    2. User-friendly interface: Easy to navigate, even for less tech-savvy users.
    3. Smart progression: Only relevant questions appear, saving time.
    4. Secure platform: All data is encrypted and handled with strict confidentiality.

Why do our online forms matter?

By using online questionnaires, we ensure that every detail is documented properly from the start. This reduces the risk of error, speeds up the process, and allows our paralegals and legal team to focus on preparing documents that are accurate and court-ready.

For clients, this approach removes the need for multiple phone calls or in-person meetings, providing a convenient, transparent, and private method for managing one of the most sensitive processes in life.

If you have any questions about filling out the questionnaires or need clarification about a specific section, our support team is always here to assist.
