FinPlan Divorce Planner®
Software to Take the Guesswork Out of Financial Planning for Divorce
Software Which Informs Users When a Settlement Is Not Tax Smart

HELP IS HERE

Why FinPlan

EASY TO USE
You enter income items and tax variables. FinPlan Divorce Planner®:

  • Calculates federal, state and FICA taxes for both parties for 3 years
  • Prepares understandable cash flow reports which highlight alimony/child support assumptions and the resulting cash available to meet living expenses
  • Generates accurate tax calculations (including automatic Alternative Minimum Tax) to support after-tax cash figures for use by clients, attorneys and Courts
