Where the parties stand
Dana — Party A
Wishes to keep the family home to stay with the children, and to treat the full 401(k) as shared absent records showing a separate portion.
Samuel — Party B
Open to a delayed sale; asks that a documented pre-marital part of the 401(k) be treated as separate, and that the cost of a delay be reflected.

A proposed split — and how it balances
What happens to the home
Overall split of the estate
“Equitable” doesn't mean equal — the split is often not 50/50. Drag the dial; the breakdown rebalances with an equalizing payment and still reconciles.
Assumptions you can adjust
These drive the math
Set and review these together with your mediator or attorney. Every figure on this page — and in any report — uses exactly these.
