Family Law Legal Forms

We offer 21 legal forms across 9 categories: powers of attorney, advance directives, wills and estate forms, trusts, prenuptial agreements, divorce settlements, child travel consents, cohabitation agreements, and pet custody agreements. Each form is customized for all 50 states.

Yes. Every form is designed to comply with state-specific family-law and estate-planning rules. When you select your state, the form automatically applies local witness counts, notarization rules, recording requirements, statutory short forms, and enforceability standards. No manual legal research needed.

Most family-law forms require one or both. Powers of attorney generally need notarization and often two witnesses; wills typically require two witnesses; advance directives require witnesses, notarization, or both depending on the state; prenups require both parties to sign before the wedding. Each form tells you exactly what your state requires and includes the right signature blocks.

Individual forms are available for $49 each as a one-time purchase. For unlimited access to all 21 family-law forms — plus business contracts, consumer law documents, employment forms, and 50 driving-law guides — the ConsumerShield subscription is $99/year.

For standard family-law needs — a power of attorney, healthcare directive, simple will, child travel consent, prenup without unusual assets — our forms are designed to be completed without an attorney. For blended families, large estates, taxable gifts, business interests in a prenup, contested divorces, or complex trusts, we recommend consulting a licensed attorney.

After answering the guided questions online, your document generates instantly as a professional PDF. Download it to any device, print it, sign it with witnesses and/or a notary where required, and store the original in a safe place. No account required for individual purchases.

Yes. Our legal team monitors legislative changes and updates forms when laws change. Subscription members receive every update automatically. Individual purchasers can re-download updated versions at no additional charge.

The fees will vary depending on your location and the experience level of the attorney. The complexity of the case might also influence the fee. Some attorneys charge hourly rates, while others require retainers, which are advanced payments held in trust.

Not all family law cases go to court. It’s often possible to reach agreements among all parties via mediation and other similar strategies. If there is contention or serious disputes, however, it may be necessary to go to family court.

If you live in a state that allows fault-based divorces and you can demonstrate that your spouse was wrongful in their conduct, it may have repercussions on everything from spousal support to property division. The at-fault party may get less than what they would have otherwise received.
