## How it works

The tool uses AI trained on mediation principles to weigh multiple factors simultaneously:

**Financial contributions** are the starting point. If one partner paid 70% of the mortgage, that is reflected in the initial split. But financial contribution alone rarely tells the whole story.

**Sweat equity adjustments** account for non-monetary work. A partner who stayed home to raise children, maintained the household, or sacrificed career advancement to support the other partner's earning potential contributed real economic value. Mediators routinely factor these contributions into fair settlements.

**Jurisdiction awareness** matters because the law varies. In community property states like California and Texas, assets acquired during the relationship are typically split 50/50 regardless of who earned more. In equitable distribution states like New York, courts consider a wider range of factors to reach a "fair" (not necessarily equal) division.

**Relationship duration** affects how intertwined finances typically are. Longer relationships generally mean more shared economic life and more weight given to non-monetary contributions.

## Who should use this

- **Separating couples** who want a fair starting point for dividing assets before involving attorneys
- **Cohabitating partners** (unmarried) who are splitting up and have no legal framework guiding asset division
- **Divorcing couples** in early stages who want to understand what a reasonable split might look like
- **Mediators and counselors** who want a quick preliminary analysis to guide client conversations
- **Anyone** who wants to have a more informed and less emotional conversation about shared finances

## How to use

1. Enter the names of both people and how long the relationship lasted
2. Select your state or jurisdiction from the dropdown, as this affects how assets are typically divided
3. Add each shared asset — give it a name, an estimated value, and use the slider to indicate what percentage each person financially contributed
4. Add each shared debt — enter the name and outstanding balance
5. Adjust the sweat equity sliders for childcare, home maintenance, career sacrifice, and financial management to reflect who handled more of each responsibility
6. Click "Generate Fairness Report" to get the AI analysis
7. Review the fairness score, per-person totals, per-asset recommendations, and the detailed reasoning
8. Use the report as a conversation tool — not a legal document — when discussing the split with your partner or a mediator

## FAQs

**Q:** Is this legally binding?


**A:** No. This tool provides informational analysis based on general mediation principles. It is not legal advice and does not replace a licensed attorney. For a legally binding agreement, you must work with a family law attorney or certified mediator in your jurisdiction.


**Q:** What is sweat equity and why does it matter?


**A:** Sweat equity refers to non-monetary contributions to a relationship or household. This includes raising children, maintaining the home, sacrificing career opportunities, and managing finances. Professional mediators and family courts routinely consider these contributions when determining fair asset division, because they represent real economic value even though no paycheck was earned.


**Q:** Does this work for unmarried couples?


**A:** Yes. In fact, unmarried cohabitating couples often have fewer legal protections and less clarity about asset division. This tool is especially useful for those situations because there may be no default legal framework to guide the conversation.


**Q:** How accurate is the fairness score?


**A:** The fairness score is a relative measure based on how balanced the recommended split is given all inputs. It reflects mediation standards, not a court ruling. A high score means the AI found the split to be well-justified by the contributions and circumstances described. It is a starting point for discussion, not a verdict.


**Q:** Is my data stored or shared?


**A:** No. All information entered in this tool is processed in real time and is not stored, saved, or shared with any third party. Your financial details remain private.


**Q:** Which states are community property states?


**A:** As of the most recent data, community property states include Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. Alaska allows couples to opt in to community property rules. All other states follow equitable distribution principles.
