About Divorce Number
Divorce Number makes the money side of divorce a little less overwhelming. When a marriage ends, most people face questions they've never had to answer — how do we divide the house, what's a fair split of everything we own, will there be support — and the first instinct is to Google a calculator. Too many of those tools are clunky, ask for your email, or feel like they're harvesting your data. We built the opposite.
What we believe
- Tools should be free and frictionless. No signup, no email wall, no "unlock your results." You type, you see the answer.
- Your numbers are yours. Every calculation runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you enter is sent to a server, stored, or shared. Close the tab and it's gone.
- Plain language beats jargon. We explain the math and the rules in words a normal person can follow, and we show our work so you can sanity-check every number.
How we build the calculators
Each tool is grounded in how property division, spousal support, and child support actually work in the United States — community-property versus equitable-distribution rules, the income-shares model most states use for child support, and the common guideline approaches to alimony. Where the law varies by state (and it varies a lot), we say so plainly and point you to the authoritative source, like your state's official child-support calculator.
An honest limitation
Divorce Number gives estimates for planning and negotiation — not legal advice and not a prediction of what a judge will order. Divorce outcomes depend on your specific facts and a court's discretion. Use our numbers to walk into conversations informed, then confirm the details with a qualified family-law attorney, and where relevant a CPA or certified divorce financial analyst.
