FAQ
Is my data uploaded?
No. Your files are read by JavaScript in your browser tab and never sent to us or anyone else. Property rows aren't stored, so closing the tab clears them. Settings can be saved in this browser if you ask.
What does Equalsheet do?
It reads a list of a couple's assets and debts, totals the net marital estate, sets separate property aside, works out what each spouse is awarded from the items they keep, and computes the equalization payment that makes the split match 50/50 or the percentage you choose.
What is an equalization payment?
When the items one spouse keeps are worth more than their share of the net marital estate, they pay the other spouse the difference. This worksheet expresses a cash-equivalent difference; lawful transfers, account orders and tax treatment require separate review.
Does it know my state's law?
It applies the percentage you enter. The percentage is a modelling input. State laws and court powers vary, and a community classification does not establish a universal 50/50 rule. Separate-labelled rows are held outside this scenario, not legally protected by this tool. Review jurisdiction-specific advice before using a proposal.
What's free?
Importing within the shared input limits, the full division after valid intake, the equalization payment, every check, 3 split what-ifs and 12 items on screen and in print (with a footer). Pro shows every accepted item and adds Excel and CSV exports; input limits still apply.
What isn't covered?
Child and spousal support, alimony, tax on transfers, business valuation, the valuation date your state uses, tracing of commingled separate property, and court forms. It is a worksheet, not legal or tax advice.
Is this legal or tax advice?
No. Equalsheet applies the arithmetic it describes to the figures you provide. It is a worksheet to prepare with — check with a family law attorney, mediator or tax adviser before you sign a settlement. It is not affiliated with any court.
