🇺🇸 United States — How SettleLens Models It
⚠ SettleLens provides financial modeling for informational purposes only. Results are estimates based on publicly available legal formulas and do not constitute legal, tax, or financial advice. Always consult a qualified attorney before making any decisions.
Analysis type: formula-based-estimate (community property) / scenario-model (equitable distribution)
Legal Framework
Community Property (AZ, CA, ID, LA, NV, NM, TX, WA, WI): 50/50 split of marital assets. All other 41 states: Equitable Distribution — courts divide assets 'fairly', not necessarily equally.
What We Model
- Marital vs. separate property classification
- 50/50 split for community property states
- Equitable distribution factors for other states
- Alimony (spousal support) range estimates
- Child support using state guideline assumptions
- 10-year net worth projection
What We Cannot Know
- Judicial discretion in equitable distribution states varies widely
- Separate property commingling is not detected
- State-specific nuances beyond community/equitable split
- Tax implications of asset transfers
When to Get Professional Help
- Business ownership is involved
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreement exists
- Spouse is uncooperative or hiding assets
- Significant separate property claims
- Custody arrangements are contested
