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.
Methodology
How the Engines Work
Last updated: July 2, 2026
The divorce survival engine estimates cash cushion, legal cost pressure, monthly surplus or gap, debt pressure, transition shock, runway, and settlement dependency from user-entered planning assumptions.
The house decision engine estimates home equity, estimated sale proceeds, buyout pressure, refinance payment, full ownership cost, debt-to-income pressure, cash left after keeping, reserve months, sell-vs-keep comparison, and stress cases.
The new life cost engine estimates current-vs-future budget change, post-divorce household cost, child-related expenses, insurance and transportation changes, first 90-day transition cost, emergency fund target, income needed, and rebuild timeline.
Confidence is reduced when important inputs are missing, uncertain, or highly dependent on future events. Risk is increased when monthly costs exceed income, cash reserves are low, housing costs are high, legal costs are large, or the plan depends heavily on support or settlement assumptions.
Support amounts and property division percentages are user-entered assumptions. This site does not calculate official child support, spousal support, legal entitlement, property rights, court orders, or settlement fairness.
This methodology is intentionally transparent. It is built for planning clarity, not legal, financial, tax, mortgage, settlement, support, or professional advice.
