In this day and age, you can get a lot of help in your divorce through technology. People who own the iPod Touch and iPhone have a few apps that are worth mentioning which could help you figure out a few things about their divorce.
App developer DivorceApps have two applications that can be quite interesting for couples struggling to make sense of the whole divorce process.
Cost & Prep App- In a nutshell, the Cost & Prep app helps you track what kinds of information you need to prepare during your divorce as well as help you get a bird's eye view of the amount of money you'll likely be spending on the divorce. It can help you plan as well as track how much you're spending, which would be very useful since this sort of change can be quite a financial burden.
The Divorce Cost Estimate within the Cost & Prep app can help you gain an understanding on what kind of costs you'll be looking at during divorce. There will be soft costs or costs that are more concerned with the impact on your personal well-being as well as hard costs which can be quantified in dollar. For example, keep track of how much you'll be paying for a forensic accountant should you need to hire one. You can even make an estimate on how much you'll be paying this accountant should you need to retain his/her services over the next few months.
Since divorce proceedings entail keeping good records of spendings, you can also use this app to email the records to yourself, your soon-to-be ex spouse, or your attorney.
The Divorce Preparation feature of this app provides information on what kind of documents you need to obtain at what point of the divorce process. You'll also be able to see when you should be filing the papers, which ones you can just print out online and which ones need to be obtained by subpeona.
Estate Divider App - One of the most challenging parts of getting a divorce is dividing the estate. DivorceApp's Estate Divider can help you with this. The app can help you input values for both the assets and liabilities, assign these assets and liabilities to each spouse, divide the estate according to a desired percentage, and more.
The app can also calculate the alimony, determine its post tax equivalent and calculate any tax advantage to each party by adjusting and structuring alimony payments. It also has a feature where you can email the proposed estate division through the app.
While divorce cannot be overly simplified by these apps, they can still be quite helpful by ways of getting you information and helping you organize your finances and divorce papers.
