Terms of Service

Effective date: January 1, 2025

Acceptance of Terms

By using DivorceCostEstimator.com you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or purchase a report.

Not Legal Advice

DivorceCostEstimator.com provides financial estimates and general information for educational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is formed by using our tools or purchasing a report. Always consult a licensed family law attorney in your state for advice specific to your situation.

Calculator Estimates

Our calculators produce estimates based on typical outcomes and published state formulas. These estimates are starting points for planning, not predictions of what a court will order. Actual costs vary based on your specific circumstances, your attorney, opposing counsel, and the presiding judge.

Purchased Reports

  • Reports are for personal use only.
  • Reports are delivered digitally and are not eligible for refunds once generated, as they are custom-created based on your inputs.
  • Reports expire 30 days from purchase and are permanently deleted from our systems.
  • We will re-send your report to the email on file within the 30-day window if you contact us.

Intellectual Property

  • Site content, calculators, guides, and the DCE State Score are owned by DivorceCostEstimator.com.
  • You may share calculator results for personal use.
  • You may not reproduce, republish, or scrape our content without written permission.

Affiliate and Referral Disclosures

This site contains affiliate and referral links. We may receive compensation when you click or purchase through these links, at no additional cost to you. Our calculators and content are not influenced by these relationships.

  • LegalZoom for online divorce services (paid affiliate).
  • Hello Divorce for attorney-guided online divorce (paid affiliate).
  • 4LegalLeads for attorney referrals (paid referral, opt-in only).
  • Financial Planning Association directory for Certified Divorce Financial Analysts (no compensation).
  • LegalCostEstimator.com sister site (no compensation).

We also display advertising via Google AdSense. AdSense ads are clearly labeled as advertisements and are not editorial recommendations.

Limitation of Liability

DivorceCostEstimator.com is provided as is. We are not liable for decisions made based on calculator estimates or report content. Our maximum liability for any claim related to a purchased report is the amount you paid for that report.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any dispute arising from your use of the site will be resolved in accordance with applicable federal and state law.

Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and post a notice on the site. Continued use of DivorceCostEstimator.com after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
