The Reality
Most People Negotiate Their Divorce Blind
You don't know what you're entitled to
Without understanding your state's rules, you can't negotiate effectively. People leave an average of $20,000-$50,000 on the table.
Every question costs money
The first attorney meeting is spent gathering info you could have prepared. At $350/hr, that's $175 just explaining your assets.
Once signed, it's permanent
In most states, you cannot go back and change property division after the decree is final. Ever. One uninformed decision lasts a lifetime.

A simple calculation most people never think about:
If your marital estate is
$400,000
You accept 45% instead of 52%
7% gap
You leave on the table
$28,000
A $49 report that helps you negotiate even 1% better saves you $4,000.
That's a 100x return on a single investment.

Fair Question
How Can This Be $49 If Attorneys Charge $5,000?
Attorneys and financial analysts are expensive because they sell their time. Every client starts from zero — the attorney spends hours gathering your financial details, researching your state's law, running calculations, and drafting memos. That process costs $300-500 per hour because it requires a human expert, every single time.
We built something different.
The law doesn't change with each client
Your state's property division statutes, child support formulas, and maintenance rules are the same for everyone. We encoded them once — verified by legal research — so the system applies them instantly to your situation.
AI does in seconds what takes humans hours
The same analysis a CDFA performs manually — asset classification, support calculations, scenario modeling — our AI completes in under 30 seconds, cross-referencing your state's actual statutes against your specific numbers.
Software scales. Human time doesn't.
An attorney can serve one client at a time. Our system can serve thousands simultaneously with the same accuracy. That's why we can charge $49 instead of $3,000 — not because the analysis is less thorough, but because the delivery method is fundamentally more efficient.
Think of it this way: Google Maps doesn't replace your ability to drive — it just makes sure you don't get lost. DivorceCalc doesn't replace your attorney — it makes sure you don't walk in blind.
Prepared, Not Desperate
Here's what people say after using DivorceCalc
“I walked into my first attorney meeting knowing my range was $140K-$175K and had 3 specific questions ready. My lawyer said I was the most prepared client she'd had all year.”
Sarah K.
Texas · 12-year marriage, 2 children
“The What-If scenarios changed everything. I realized keeping the house would leave me worse off in 10 years. That one insight was worth 100x what I paid.”
Michael R.
California · 8-year marriage
“I was terrified I couldn't afford rent on my own. The budget chapter showed me exactly what my monthly cash flow would look like. I stopped panicking and started planning.”
Jennifer L.
Florida · 15-year marriage, 3 children

Questions? We've Got Answers.
Is this legal advice?
No. DivorceCalc is an educational simulation. Think of it as preparation — so when you sit down with a lawyer, you're informed and ready. Most users tell us it saves 2-3 hours of billable attorney time.
How accurate are the estimates?
We use your state's actual statutes, including 2025-2026 updates. Real outcomes depend on negotiation and judicial discretion. Most users report the estimates are within 10-20% of their final settlement. Use it as an informed starting point.
I don't know my exact numbers. Can I still use this?
Yes — the tool is designed for estimates. You don't need exact values. The report will flag areas where you should verify numbers and tell you exactly which documents to gather.
Is my information secure?
Absolutely. No account required. Financial data is encrypted, never stored permanently, and automatically deleted within 24 hours. Payment via Stripe — we never see your card number.
Can I bring this report to my attorney?
That's exactly what it's designed for. Many users bring it to their first consultation as a financial summary. Attorneys appreciate prepared clients — it saves billable hours and gets to strategy faster.
What's the difference between this and free online calculators?
Free calculators give you a single number. DivorceCalc gives you a complete financial analysis: what-if scenarios, tax implications, budget projections, negotiation strategies, and an action plan. It's the difference between "around 50%" and knowing exactly which assets to fight for.
What if I don't receive my report?
Reports arrive by email within 5 minutes. Check spam/promotions. You have a 30-day re-send link. If there are any issues, contact us and we'll make it right.

You're about to make one of the biggest financial decisions of your life. Every day you wait is a day your spouse might be getting ahead.
For less than the cost of dinner, you'll know your settlement range, your options, and exactly what to ask your attorney.
