Conflict Checks Built for Family Law

Legal ethics and professional responsibility demand strict conflict-of-interest checks—especially in emotionally charged practice areas like family law. CaseGen’s AI agents are trained to handle this delicately and efficiently.

Our agents initiate conflict screening at the start of every call, ensuring no intake proceeds without verifying whether your firm has interacted with any opposing party. This minimizes liability while maintaining trust and professionalism.

How Our Conflict Verification Works

  • Real-Time Screening: As soon as a name is mentioned, our system checks it against your known contacts or past cases.

  • Practice-Specific Prompts: Every family law matter is different—divorce, custody, support—so we tailor each script accordingly.

  • Escalation Protocols: If there’s a possible conflict, the AI agent pauses intake and notifies your team for manual review.

  • Ethical Compliance, Automated: Stay compliant without lifting a finger.


Sample Conflict-Check Prompts by Practice Area

Here’s how our AI agents handle conflict checks across a range of family law scenarios:

Family Law Area

Conflict Check Script Example

Divorce

“Before we move forward, could you please provide your full name and that of your spouse? We’ll use this to ensure we haven’t spoken with the other party.”

Child Custody / Parenting Time

“To avoid any potential conflicts, may I have the name of the other parent involved in this custody matter?”

Child Support

“Can you tell me who the other parent is in this support case? We’ll need their name for our internal records check.”

Adoption

“Have any birth parents or other individuals involved in this adoption contacted our firm previously? If so, could you provide their names?”

Paternity

“Could you share the full name of the other person involved in this paternity matter so we can run a quick check?”

Prenuptial / Postnuptial

“To confirm we don’t have a prior relationship, can you share the full name of the person you’re planning to enter into the agreement with?”

Legal Separation

“We just need your full name and your spouse’s name to ensure there’s no existing connection with our office.”

Guardianship

“Who are the current or proposed guardians? And can you provide the child’s full name as well for verification purposes?”

Restraining / Protection Orders

“Please tell me who the protective order would be filed against. We’ll check to ensure there’s no conflict with prior contacts.”

Contempt of Court

“Let me get the name of the opposing party so we can verify whether they’ve been in touch with our firm previously.”

Annulment

“To begin, may I have the full name of the person you’re seeking the annulment from? We’ll use this to ensure ethical compliance.”
