Divorce Planning Spreadsheet | Divorce Prep Toolkit Excel & Google Sheets | Asset Division Budget Alimony Child Support Co-Parenting Tracker

Divorce is expensive. Not just emotionally — the legal bill alone can hollow out the marital estate before division even happens. Attorneys charge $150–$400/hour, and a lot of that time gets spent on paperwork you could have sorted yourself. This toolkit handles the paperwork. 15 tabs covering the full process — from the first document you need to find, through asset and debt division, co-parenting expense tracking, and the 35-tab administrative checklist you need to actually execute the decree after it's signed. Most divorce spreadsheets on the market handle one piece of this. This one covers all of it. ──────────────────────────────────── THE 15 TABS ──────────────────────────────────── DISCOVERY CHECKLIST — 60+ documents organized by category with status dropdowns. Tax returns, bank statements, retirement accounts, property records, insurance policies, legal documents. Know exactly what you have and what you're still missing before you walk into mediation. LEGAL INTAKE QUESTIONNAIRE — The same biographical and jurisdictional questions your attorney's intake form asks. Fill this out beforehand and your first consultation stays on strategy. MSOL BUDGET CALCULATOR — Courts use the Marital Standard of Living to set alimony. This tab calculates it: historical marital expenses next to your projected post-divorce budget and your spouse's. Every category — housing, transportation, insurance, children, debt service, savings. ASSET DIVISION MATRIX — Every asset classified as marital or separate property. Enter the current value and loan balance; net equity calculates automatically. Real estate, vehicles, bank accounts, investments, business interests, personal property. DEBT ALLOCATION LEDGER — Full liability inventory with interest rates and monthly payments. Includes a Debt Avalanche payoff modeler: enter any debt and it calculates months to payoff and flags if your payment is too low to clear the interest. HOUSEHOLD INVENTORY — Item-by-item catalog of the home. You mark what you want. Your spouse marks what they want. Contested items flag red automatically. Saves a lot of time in mediation. RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS & QDRO TRACKER — Logs all retirement accounts with marital vs. separate portions. Tracks QDRO drafting and approval status per plan. This tab exists because retirement account transfers are where people make costly, irreversible mistakes. DIGITAL ASSETS INVENTORY — Cryptocurrency, online business revenue (Etsy shops, YouTube channels, digital product catalogs), shared subscriptions, and financial app accounts. Includes a plain-language warning about what unauthorized account access actually costs you in court. CO-PARENTING EVIDENCE LOG — 100 rows of event logging, designed to hold up under judicial scrutiny. Event type dropdown (Missed Visit, Hostile Communication, Late Arrival, etc.), communication medium, objective observations, and a link field for cloud-stored evidence. Missed visit rows turn red automatically. Hostile communication rows turn orange. CO-PARENTING SHARED EXPENSES — Enter your income split percentage once. Every expense you log calculates each parent's share automatically. The month-end reconciliation produces one number: who owes whom, and how much. SUPPORT SCENARIO CALCULATOR — Estimates alimony range (low and high) and child support using state percentage guidelines. Also models your net take-home after support obligations. Useful before you agree to anything. ARREARAGE TRACKER — 36 months of payment tracking. Missed or short payments compound interest at your state's statutory rate. Rows highlight automatically. If you ever go back to court over non-payment, this is your documentation. POST-DECREE CHECKLIST — 35+ tasks organized by sector: real estate, retirement transfers, banking, estate planning, insurance, identity and name change, children. Deadline column, status dropdown, notes column. The decree doesn't execute itself — this tab makes sure you don't miss a deadline that costs you an asset. DASHBOARD — Financial summary, support estimates, and navigation links to every tab. ──────────────────────────────────── FORMAT ──────────────────────────────────── ✔ Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) — use offline for pre-divorce privacy ✔ Google Sheets if you prefer cloud access ✔ Instant digital download ✔ Mac and PC ──────────────────────────────────── WHAT THIS IS NOT ──────────────────────────────────── This is not legal advice. It's an organizational tool. It doesn't replace your attorney — it makes every hour with your attorney count more, because you've already done the groundwork. Questions?
