Have you ever been through a divorce? Splitting assets equally is an after thought for most folks. They (or the one that filled) just want to get the thing over with, quickly, and a lawyer makes that happen.
Say if you brought assets into the relationship, a house, retirement fund fund, an inheritance. I’m sure you don’t want your ex-partner to get half of that. You’re entitled to keep a larger portion of it (as you get a credit for it). So our app helps people understand that better.
Some people who split everything equally may be giving more away than they should.
This is our version one. I have no idea how it will evolve.
But yes, if you want it done quickly - a lawyer is better at this stage.
May I ask if you went through a divorce?
Doesn't this depend on if you have a pre-nup especially in states like CA? I got married super early and had to divide everything equally even though I earned much more than my spouse.
The rules in Community Property states is marital assets have to be divided equally (50/50) in non-Community Property states they must only be divided up "equitably."
As you can see this represents a large percent of the total U.S. population.

Also, "The states of Tennessee and South Dakota have passed elective Community Property Laws."
