The short answer

What should a family law firm website have?

A family law website needs a quick-exit button and a safe way to be contacted, because some visitors are leaving an abusive home. It should explain divorce, parenting arrangements, support, property and out-of-court options clearly, offer calm consultation booking, and label any child support tool as an estimate under the official guidelines, never a promise.

What every family lawyer website includes

  • Quick exit on every page

    A clearly labelled button, fixed in the same corner on every page and reachable with the Escape key, that replaces the site with a neutral one. A short page explains that it does not erase history and how to browse more safely.

  • Safe-contact intake

    Forms ask how and when it is safe to be contacted and whether a message may be left, and those answers sit at the top of the request so your staff never call at the wrong time.

  • Support estimates labelled as estimates

    An optional child support estimate that reads the official guideline tables for the paying parent’s province or state, states what it leaves out, and points to a lawyer before anyone relies on the number.

  • Pages for each family law issue

    Divorce, parenting time and decision-making, child and spousal support, property, separation agreements, marriage contracts and protection orders, each explained for your province or state so it ranks for the question asked.

  • Out-of-court options explained

    Mediation, collaborative law and negotiation compared in plain words, with a clear note on when they are not appropriate, which suits clients and the duties family lawyers already have.

  • Private disclosure portal

    Financial statements, tax returns and valuations uploaded against a checklist, with neutral notification emails that never name the firm or the matter in the subject line.

How clients search

The searches and pages a family lawyer website needs

Family law searches usually start privately and late at night, on a phone the other spouse may never see. People type the question before they type “lawyer”: how custody works, what child support would be, whether they can move with the children, how to divorce without court. Many check reviews and whether the lawyer mediates, look for a free first call, and ask an AI assistant to explain their province’s or state’s rules first, so calm, accurate answers win the consultation.

  • “divorce lawyer near me”
  • “how much does a divorce cost”
  • “how is child support calculated”
  • “can i move with my child after separation”
  • “family mediation near me”
  • “uncontested divorce lawyer”
  • “how to get a protection order”
  1. 01

    Divorce and separation

    The steps from separation to divorce where you practise, contested and uncontested, with timelines and what the court needs, written so a person who has not yet told anyone can understand what happens next.

  2. 02

    Parenting and custody

    Parenting time and decision-making (Canada’s terms since 2021) or custody and visitation (most US states), what a court weighs, and relocation, without suggesting any parent will “win”.

  3. 03

    Child and spousal support

    How the official guideline works, what income counts, and when amounts change, with an estimate tool labelled as an estimate and a clear path to a consultation before anyone relies on a figure.

  4. 04

    Mediation and collaborative law

    The out-of-court options compared, who is in the room, what they cost in time and money, the credentials of the firm’s mediators and collaborative lawyers, and when these routes are not safe.

  5. 05

    Safety and protection orders

    What protection or restraining orders do and how fast they can be made, with the quick exit on screen, safe-contact options and the local emergency and support lines, reviewed by a lawyer.

  6. 06

    Fees and first consultation

    Whether the first meeting is free, hourly rates or flat fees for uncontested matters and agreements, retainers, and what drives the cost of a contested case, which is the question most callers are afraid to ask.

SEO, AEO and GEO

How family lawyers get found in Google and in AI answers

  • Family law categories in Google

    Google Business Profile offers Family law attorney and Divorce lawyer categories, among others. The office picks the one that matches its work as primary, keeps hours accurate, and answers questions in the profile without naming any client or case.

  • Answers for question searches

    Family searches are questions. Pages open with a short, direct answer for the jurisdiction (how support is calculated, how long a divorce takes), then the detail, which is what featured snippets, AI Overviews and assistants such as ChatGPT tend to quote.

  • Credentials search engines can read

    Lawyer pages list bar admissions, any certification with the body that granted it, and mediator or collaborative training with its exact title, marked up as Person on a LegalService page. For a YMYL topic like family law, named authors and review dates matter.

  • Reviews without exposing families

    Ask clients for reviews after their matter closes and suggest they leave out names and details. Reply without confirming anyone was a client. Directory and map listings carry the same name, address and phone as the site.

Compliance

The rules for family lawyers, handled in the design

Family lawyers advertise under their bar or law society’s rules, and in Canada the Divorce Act adds duties about out-of-court options. These are the rules that shape a family law site’s promises, intake, support estimates and safety features, and what each design does about them.

Sources gathered October 6, 2026. This is how our designs handle these rules, not legal advice: rules change and differ by province and state, so your bar or law society (or your ethics counsel) has the final word, and you approve every page before it goes live.

  • US · ABA Model Rule 7.1

    No promises about custody or support

    Rule 7.1 and its comment treat a statement as misleading when it creates unjustified expectations about what a lawyer can achieve. Family pages describe how parenting and support are decided and what a court weighs, and never suggest a parent will “win” custody or a set level of support.

    ABA — Comment on Model Rule 7.1

  • US · ABA Model Rule 7.3

    No pressure on people in a crisis

    Rule 7.3 bars live person-to-person solicitation for gain, and any solicitation involving coercion, duress or harassment or contacting someone who has said they do not want it. Separating spouses are often in exactly that state, so the sites wait for the visitor to reach out and staff follow up only in the way the visitor chose.

    ABA — Model Rule 7.3

  • Canada · Divorce Act s. 7.7

    Family dispute resolution, unless it is unsafe

    Section 7.7 of the Divorce Act asks a legal adviser to encourage clients to try a family dispute resolution process such as negotiation, mediation or collaborative law, unless that would clearly not be appropriate, and to tell them about family justice services. Canadian versions explain those processes and the safety exception on their own page.

    Justice Laws — Divorce Act, section 7.7

  • Canada · Federal Child Support Guidelines

    Support estimates from the official tables

    The Federal Child Support Tables set base monthly amounts by province or territory, number of children and the paying parent’s income, and Justice Canada publishes its own look-up for estimates. The estimate tool uses the current tables, names the version, and says special expenses and shared parenting can change the amount.

    Justice Canada — Child support table look-up

  • US · 45 CFR 302.56

    Each state’s own support guideline

    Federal rules require every state to set child support guidelines, so the formula differs from state to state. US versions of the estimate run only on the guideline of the state the firm practises in, link to that state’s official calculator where one exists, and never show a figure for a state the firm does not serve.

    eCFR — 45 CFR 302.56, guidelines for child support orders

  • US · ABA Opinion 10-457

    Confidential details only after a conflict check

    Formal Opinion 10-457 warns that a site inviting a visitor to describe their matter can make them a prospective client owed confidentiality. In family law the other spouse may already have called the firm, so forms collect both spouses’ names first and ask for the story only after the check.

    ABA Formal Opinion 10-457 — Lawyer websites (copy)

  • Ontario

    Certified specialists in family law

    Ontario’s rule 4.2-1 asks that marketing be demonstrably true and not misleading, and rule 4.3-1 reserves “specialist” for lawyers the Law Society has certified, which it does for family law. Profiles say a lawyer practises family law unless a certification is entered, and then name the Law Society as the certifying body.

    Law Society of Ontario — Rules of Professional Conduct, chapter 4

  • Florida · Ontario · mediator titles

    Mediator credentials named as granted

    Florida’s rules for court-certified mediators treat “Florida Supreme Court certified” as misleading unless the area of certification, such as family, is named, and bar a general claim to be “certified” without a real certification process. In Ontario, Accredited Family Mediator is a designation of the Ontario Association for Family Mediation. Profiles show each mediation or collaborative credential with its exact title and the body that granted it.

Questions

Family lawyers: common questions

How much does a family law website cost?
A family law website of up to 25 pages is $1,500 paid upfront, or $150 a month for 12 months, and it is yours after the 12th payment. A larger site of up to about 100 pages is $4,000, or $400 a month. Hosting and care is $29 or $49 a month. Prices are in US dollars.
Why does a family law website need a quick-exit button?
Because some visitors are reading in a home where the person they are leaving can see the screen. A quick-exit button, fixed in the same place on every page, replaces your site with a neutral one in a single tap. We add a short page on clearing browsing history, since the button cannot hide a visit already recorded.
Can a family lawyer website include a child support calculator?
Yes, if it is labelled as an estimate and built on the official guideline. In Canada that means the current Federal Child Support Tables for the paying parent’s province; in the US, your state’s guideline. The tool names the table version, lists what it leaves out, such as special expenses and shared parenting, and invites a consultation instead of promising a figure.
Should a divorce lawyer show client testimonials?
Carefully, if at all. Many family clients do not want their separation linked to their name, and some bars restrict testimonials or require a disclaimer beside them. If you show reviews, use only real ones given with consent, avoid details that identify a family, and add the wording your bar requires on the same screen.
Do family law websites need to mention mediation?
In Canada it helps you meet a real duty: section 7.7 of the Divorce Act asks lawyers to encourage family dispute resolution unless it is clearly not appropriate. A page comparing mediation, collaborative law and negotiation, with a plain note on when they are unsafe, also answers a question separating couples often search.
How should a family lawyer list mediation or collaborative credentials?
Exactly as granted, with the body that granted them. Florida’s mediator rules, for example, treat “Florida Supreme Court certified” as misleading unless the area, such as family, is named; in Ontario, Accredited Family Mediator comes from the Ontario Association for Family Mediation. Collaborative training is described as training, and “certified specialist” appears only with the certifying body.
Will my family lawyer website rank on Google?
It launches with the technical SEO done: fast pages, clean structure, structured data, local pages and redirects from your old site. To keep climbing, a BOOSTD SEO plan from $149 a month runs 262 checks on your site every week, fixes what is safe to fix and gets the rest ready for your OK.No one can promise a position on Google, and we never do.
