How to use it

Enter all marital assets, separate property, debts, income for both parties, and state property-division rules. Include retirement accounts, real estate equity, business interests, and debts at current values, not historical ones.
Read the proposed split value for each party, the net position after debts, and any equalization payment. Community property states split 50/50 while equitable distribution states consider factors like income disparity and marriage length.
A split that looks equal on paper can be unequal in practice if one party gets illiquid assets like a house while the other gets cash. Tax basis, liquidity, and ongoing costs matter as much as headline value.
Model multiple division scenarios, especially ones that trade the house for retirement accounts or vice versa, and account for the tax cost of selling appreciated assets. Consult a divorce financial analyst for complex estates.
Re-run as asset valuations update during proceedings and when settlement proposals change. Track net liquid value per party, tax-adjusted values, and monthly cash-flow viability for each scenario.

Agent FAQ

Should ChatGPT, Claude, or another agent click through the UI?

No. Start with /agent-tools.json, then follow the tool's contract URL. The page UI is for human review, not parameter discovery.

When do tools show Quick and Advanced?

Every tool opens in Quick Start first. Advanced Controls keeps the same scenario, reveals more assumptions or diagnostics, and every tool keeps AI integrations inline below the instructions.

When should an agent still open the browser page?

Open it when a human wants to sense-check the output, review the chart, or keep exploring related tools after the calculation finishes.

Questions people usually ask

What does this calculator model?

It helps you understand how different asset division scenarios affect your post-divorce financial position. You input marital assets, debts, income, and potential alimony or child support, and it projects each party's net worth and cash flow under various split ratios.

Does it handle community property vs equitable distribution?

The tool lets you model both. Community property states default to 50/50 splits, while equitable distribution states allow unequal splits based on various factors. You can adjust the split ratio to model either approach.

Is a 50/50 split always fair?

Not necessarily. Equal division of assets can be inequitable when one spouse sacrificed career growth, when assets have different tax bases (a $500K Roth IRA is worth more than a $500K traditional IRA after taxes), or when future earning potential differs significantly.

When should I use this vs hiring a divorce financial analyst?

Use this for early-stage scenario planning before engaging professionals. For complex situations involving business valuations, pension splits, or stock options, a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA) is essential.

Is my data stored?

No. All calculations happen in your browser. Nothing is stored or transmitted.

Does this account for tax implications of asset division?

It flags the major tax differences between asset types — pre-tax retirement accounts, after-tax accounts, real estate with capital gains, and Roth accounts. However, it uses simplified tax models, so consult a tax professional for complex situations.
