Family law calculators for your website.
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. No account needed. Each ends by telling the reader to talk with a professional who knows their whole situation. No account needed.

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.
