Is this legal advice?
No. DivorceFinancialCompass.com is an educational planning tool. It does not provide legal, financial, tax, mediation, court, custody, support, property-division, or professional advice.
Do I need an account?
No. The site does not require an account, username, password, email address, or profile. Calculator entries are saved only in this browser on this device.
Where do support numbers come from?
Support numbers can come from an official state calculator, attorney estimate, mediator estimate, court document, or personal planning assumption. This site treats support amounts as numbers you enter; it does not calculate official support.
Why do results show assumptions?
Divorce financial planning depends heavily on estimates: home value, support assumptions, legal costs, interest rates, expenses, buyout percentages, and timing. Showing assumptions makes the result easier to question and update.
