Calculators for the money side of a divorce, built from the Illinois statute.
Seven tools: the maintenance guideline, the after-tax value of the accounts and the house, the marital share of a pension, and Social Security on a former spouse's record. Each opens in a small window on your site, with its sources and the date it was reviewed, in plain English. Free to place, nothing to maintain, no form. Each ends by telling the reader to talk with a professional who knows their whole situation.

Why firms put these on their sites
- It ends with you
- Every tool closes by telling the reader to talk with a professional who knows their whole situation. The reader is on your site, so the next step is your door.
- Something to do, not just read
- A visitor who runs their own numbers stays longer than one who reads, and the number they get is the question they bring to you. Every figure traces to a statute, regulation, or agency release, and when the law moves, it changes here.
- In plain words
- Every tool opens with a plain-English line on what it does and where it stops, so visitors use it without help and know its limits.
