New York Asset & Debt Planner

Organize your assets and debts and explore a proposed division for a New York divorce. New York uses equitable distribution, which means marital property is divided fairly based on the circumstances - not automatically 50/50.

This tool is for planning and educational purposes only. It does not determine whether property is marital or separate or predict what a court will award.

Planning Scenarios

Apply a proposed allocation to all marital assets or marital debts at once. You can still adjust individual items afterward.

Apply to Marital Assets

Apply to Marital Debts

These percentages are planning scenarios only. New York does not presume that marital property must be divided equally.

Equitable Does Not Always Mean Equal

New York courts divide marital property equitably after considering the circumstances of the marriage and the parties. A 50/50 allocation can be used here as a planning scenario, but it is not a legal presumption or guaranteed result.

Separate property generally remains separate, although classification, tracing, commingling, appreciation, and contributions can make the analysis more complex.

This is a user-selected planning scenario, not a prediction of an equitable-distribution award.

Important: This planner is provided for general educational and planning purposes only. It does not provide legal advice, create an attorney-client relationship, determine whether an asset or debt is marital or separate, or predict how a New York court would divide property. New York uses equitable distribution. Marital property is distributed equitably based on the circumstances of the case and is not automatically divided 50/50. Separate property generally remains separate, but classification may depend on tracing, commingling, appreciation, contributions, agreements, and other facts. Debt allocation may also depend on when and why the debt was incurred and other circumstances. The percentages entered in this tool are user-selected planning assumptions only. Actual property and debt division may differ substantially. Retirement accounts, businesses, real estate, tax issues, separate-property claims, and other complex assets may require legal, valuation, tax, or financial advice. Speak with a New York matrimonial attorney about your specific situation.

Federal Tax ConsiderationsFor divorce or separation instruments executed after December 31, 2018, spousal maintenance is generally not deductible by the payer or included in the recipient’s federal taxable income. Different rules may apply to older agreements, modifications, or particular circumstances. Consult a tax professional for advice specific to your situation.

Important: This calculator provides a general planning estimate only. It does not provide legal advice, create an attorney-client relationship, or predict the amount or duration of maintenance that a New York court will order. New York maintenance may involve statutory calculations, income caps, advisory duration ranges, and other factors permitted by law. Courts may also deviate from formula-based results depending on the circumstances of the case. The figures shown here are based on simplified assumptions and the information entered. Actual maintenance may be higher, lower, longer, shorter, or not awarded at all.

Important: This calculator provides a general planning estimate based on a simplified application of New York's Child Support Standards Act. It does not provide legal advice, create an attorney-client relationship, or predict the amount a court will order. New York child support calculations may require adjustments to income, statutory deductions, low-income rules, allocation of childcare and health-related expenses, application of the combined parental income cap, and consideration of income above the cap. Actual child support may be higher or lower than the estimate shown.
