Independent divorce cost research. No legal advice. No sales agenda.
Data from public sources and court fee schedules — not from companies looking to sell you legal services.
Estimates built from actual attorney rate surveys and published sources, updated regularly.
We don't sell legal services, collect leads, or earn commissions from attorneys.
Divorce is one of the most financially consequential events most people experience — and most people enter the process with almost no understanding of how assets are divided, how support is calculated, or what a fair outcome actually looks like. That information gap is costly: it leads to bad agreements, prolonged litigation, and outcomes that could have been avoided with better information upfront.
QuickDivorceCalc.com was built to provide that information in plain language, before the legal fees start accumulating. The calculator and guides on this site explain how family courts approach property division and support in plain terms, give you realistic estimates based on your financial situation, and help you have more informed conversations with your attorney.
Settlement frameworks and support calculations are based on state statutes, published family court guidelines, and data from the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and U.S. Census Bureau family income research. Child support estimates follow each state's official income shares or percentage-of-income guidelines. We are not a law firm and nothing on this site constitutes legal advice — state law varies significantly and your specific outcome depends on facts only an attorney can fully evaluate.
When a figure cannot be confirmed from an official or peer-reviewed source, we present the methodology and direct you to verify directly rather than publishing an unconfirmed number as fact. Full details are on our Editorial Policy page.
We are an independent consumer research publisher. We are not a law firm, an insurance agency, or a financial advisory firm. Nothing on this site constitutes legal, financial, or insurance advice. The calculator and guides here are for informational purposes only and are intended to help you have more informed conversations with licensed professionals.
The site is free to use and supported by advertising. We may connect people who request it with licensed professionals in relevant fields — we may receive compensation for such referrals at no cost to you, and you are never obligated to engage anyone. Our research is produced independently of those commercial relationships.
Brad Burton is the founder and editor of QuickDivorceCalc.com. Brad has spent over a decade building consumer-facing research tools across family law research, divorce settlement analysis, child support estimation, life insurance, and consumer financial research — translating complex regulatory and financial systems into plain-language resources that help people make informed decisions before consulting a professional.
His work is rooted in a straightforward observation: the institutions people deal with in these situations — insurance companies, courts, lenders, carriers — have access to data and expertise that most consumers simply don't. Building tools that close that information gap is the mission behind every site he publishes.
The site is maintained by a small editorial team. Content is reviewed for accuracy regularly and updated when laws, rates, or published research changes. We are not licensed professionals in the areas we cover, and we say so plainly — our role is to make reliable information accessible and point you toward the right experts when your situation requires one.
