Divorce Calculator When you get divorced in England and Wales you need to agree on a fair financial settlement: What happens to the home? Who will stay in it? Will it be sold? How will the equity be divided? How will pensions be treated? Will they be shared? How will savings and investments be divided? Will there be any child or spousal maintenance payable? How much and for how long? The area of family law that defines what is fair is known as Section 25 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973. For more information read our article How to calculate a fair financial settlement on divorce.

Disclaimer: You should take legal advice on your financial position before you make any decisions about a financial settlement. Do not rely on the results of the divorce calculator.The calculator provides only a very rough indication and the ambiguity of the law plus the limited data it uses as input means that the results may not be accurate and should be treated with caution. For example: if the wife has disabilities or serious health issues then that may significantly affect the settlement and that would not be factored in to the calculators results.
