The gap in your current stack

Your clients are paying you to strategize. Not to reconcile spreadsheets.

Rebuilding what you already collected

Every matter starts the same: re-entering asset data from financial disclosure forms your clients already filled out. That time is billed to a client or written off.

Defaulting to 50/50 when the law allows better

Most states support equitable distribution — not just even splits. Without scenario modeling, attorneys settle for the path of least resistance and leave outcomes on the table.

Liabilities left out of the picture

A $500k estate with $185k in debt isn't a $500k estate. Reimbursement claims, attorney fees, and shared liabilities belong in the same calculation as the assets.

Tax and liquidity flags missed in negotiation

A brokerage account and a retirement account aren't equivalent — even at the same value. Capital gains exposure, QDRO requirements, and liquidity gaps need to be surfaced before mediation, not after.

How it works

From financial disclosure to settlement conference

The process mirrors what you already do — it just removes the manual work and produces a documented output you can hand to opposing counsel or a CPA.

01

Open a matter and add parties

Enter the case, invite co-counsel or opposing counsel if needed. Set the permission mode: attorney-only, client-led, or hybrid — you control who sees what.

02

Build the asset and liability inventory

Log assets, debts, and reimbursement claims together. Import from a spreadsheet or enter directly. The tool calculates net equalization in real time.

03

Parties establish values — silently

Each party enters their opinion of each asset's value. Attorneys see both; parties don't see each other's inputs until both are submitted. Anything in range is automatically flagged as agreed.

04

Allocate with scenario modeling

Set your target split and model which asset combinations hit it. Compare scenarios side-by-side. Tax flags, QDRO requirements, and liquidity mismatches surface automatically.

05

Export the joint exhibit list

A clean, defensible allocation blueprint — formatted as the court's required joint exhibit list, shareable with a CPA, or ready for the settlement conference.

Allocation interface

Clients drag their side.
The math updates instantly.

Once values are established, each party allocates assets to their side. A running equity balance auto-calculates at the bottom. Conflicts are flagged for discussion. Agreements are marked — no back-and-forth email required.

  • Priority tiers — Parties rank assets: "must have" vs. "willing to negotiate." The tool resolves non-conflicts automatically.

  • Envy tolerances — Model the split each party would accept as fair — surface the zone of agreement before the conference.

  • Three permission modes — Attorney-only, client-led, or hybrid. Some matters, clients don't touch the numbers. Others, they do all the entry.

What you get

Built for contested asset division

Allocation scenario modeling

Compare multiple split configurations simultaneously. Optimize for your target percentage with tax and liquidity constraints applied automatically.

Assets and liabilities together

Mortgages, reimbursement claims, attorney fees, and shared debt belong in the same calculation. Celestial Divide builds the full recapitulation — not just the asset side.

Tax and liquidity analysis

Capital gains exposure, retirement account penalties, and liquid vs. illiquid breakdowns are surfaced on every asset. QDRO requirements flagged automatically.

Client intake portal

Give clients a structured place to enter their own assets and debts — with prompts for what's missing. Attorneys stop being data entry clerks.

Defensible, documented output

Every allocation ties back to entered values and model inputs. Ready for opposing counsel, a CPA, forensic analyst, or the court's joint exhibit list requirement.

Discrepancy detection

Cross-references values across both parties' disclosures. Surfacing hidden accounts and inconsistencies is something attorneys currently catch manually — or miss entirely.

Where Celestial Divide fits

"This is a pre-settlement modeling tool, not a replacement for your forensic analyst."

Your forensic financial analyst handles contested valuations and expert testimony. Celestial Divide handles everything before that — structuring the financial picture, modeling scenarios, and producing the document that gets both parties to the table faster. The two work together.
