Create My Divorce Plan | PlanMyDivorce

01 / Starting point

Tell us a little about your situation.

Choose the country and legal jurisdiction relevant to your situation. You can leave other optional questions unanswered and change them later. This is not a legal assessment. If countries are involved in more than one jurisdiction, obtain advice about which court and law may apply.

Your country (currently supported)

Planning resources currently cover Australia, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Ireland.

State, province or region (optional)

Where are you now?

Have you discussed it with your partner?

How would you describe the relationship between you at this stage?

Generally cooperativeWe may be able to talk and agree on some thingsUncertain or mixedSome topics are workable; others may not beSignificant disagreementsThere are unresolved or contested issuesPrefer not to sayContinue without choosing a description

Are children involved?

Is there a shared home or property?

What are you hoping to understand or organize? (optional, private)

A cooperative situation may make some discussions easier, but does not guarantee low costs or a simple legal process. Likewise, disagreement doesn't determine how a court will decide anything.

02 / Money and possible expenses

What might your finances look like?

Compare your current monthly position with a possible separate-household budget. Enter your own estimates. Leave an amount blank if you do not know it yet. Enter 0 only when you intend to estimate no cost or income for that item. Incomplete calculations will be clearly marked.

These are costs you might want to ask about, not prices from PlanMyDivorce. Professional fees vary widely and may be substantial even if separation is amicable.

Court filing or document fees

Mediation or other professional services

Moving, setup or housing costs

One-time expenses entered: $0. These are not deducted from the monthly remainder; the final report shows them separately.

03 / Assets, debts and documents

What would you like to organize?

List items you want to understand or verify. Values and ownership labels are only your notes, not a legal division of property. You can add more lines.

Financial inventory

Documents I still need to gather (optional)

Questions or values to verify (optional)

Some assets and debts may be treated differently by the law in your jurisdiction. This is not an asset division calculation or a settlement proposal.

04 / Your personal planning journal

What would you like to work through?

Use these prompts as a private note maker. Write as much or as little as you wish, or skip a question. Your answers appear in your full private planning PDF; they are excluded from the discussion copy unless you explicitly choose to include them.

Choose any question below — answering is optional.

What matters most to me right now?

For example, stable housing, clear finances, routines and practical information.

What have we discussed or understood so far?

Include any points of agreement, without assuming they are legally binding.

Which questions or disagreements still need attention?

Record concerns to explore, not accusations or predicted outcomes.

What would make the next few weeks easier to manage?

Think about immediate practical arrangements and information.

What information or records do I still need?

Documents, estimates, names, dates or unanswered financial questions.

What would I like to ask a lawyer, mediator or adviser?

Questions about local procedures, fees, options or rights.

What kind of support would help me feel more prepared?

A trusted person, counselling, or an impartial support service.

What would I like my next practical step to be?

A small action you can take when ready.

This is a place to organize your thoughts, not a legal assessment. Avoid including anything you would not want another person to see if your device or PDF is shared.

05 / Support and people to contact

What kind of help might be useful?

You can skip this step. Finding support or asking a question does not mean committing to any service. We don't provide lawyers, therapists or paid divorce services.

Would you like to explore emotional or mental wellbeing support?

06 / Your personal planning summary

Here's your starting plan.

Your report brings together what you entered and highlights possible planning questions. It cannot assess the outcome of your divorce or decide what's best for your family.

Take your plan with you

Choose the private full report for your records, or a shorter discussion copy that normally leaves out private notes, safety and wellbeing choices, and your contact shortlist. You can choose to include your planning-journal answers. Review every page before sharing.

This is a personal planning worksheet, not legal advice, a court document, a binding agreement, a settlement offer, or professional financial advice. It is not a prediction of costs or outcomes.

Let's build your plan.
