Financial Budgeting Tool
This budget spreadsheet is an example of what you'll need to create your budget as you go through the divorce process. Each state has different requirements so check with your state to see if there's a budgeting worksheet that you're required to complete.
Divorce brings enough uncertainty — your money doesn’t have to be one of them. This sample budgeting tool helps you track income and expenses so you can see exactly what you'll need to be financially stable. No more late-night stress sessions, no more guessing what you can afford, and no more feeling blindsided in negotiations.
Knowing your budget will help you:
- Organize your monthly expenses and income streams with clarity.
- Spot hidden costs of divorce that most people overlook.
- Prepare accurate numbers for mediation, court, or attorney meetings.
- Make confident decisions about child support, alimony, and housing.
Whether you’re worried about protecting your kids’ future, negotiating a fair settlement, or just trying to breathe easier about bills, creating a budget will help you get grounded and move forward with confidence.
