An alternative
to DivorceMate.

The support math itself is settled ground: the Federal Child Support Tables are published by the Department of Justice, and the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines are public. What firms actually pay for, in money and in time, is the workflow around the math: someone at the firm reads the financial disclosure, types every number into the tool by hand, re-types it when new disclosure lands, and re-types it again for every scenario worth comparing. The typing is the product. Any honest evaluation of an alternative starts there, not at the feature list.

1. Who does the typing? If the answer is still “your assistant, by hand, from the disclosure,” you are buying the same workflow with a different logo. The question that changes the economics is whether the inputs can come from the documents on the file.

2. Can every input be traced to its source? A support calculation gets argued with. When opposing counsel challenges the payor income, you want each number to point at the document and page it came from, not at whoever typed it.

3. Is the math deterministic, and is it stamped? The computation should be done by regular software, never by an AI guessing, and every calculation should carry the table versions it used, so the same inputs give the same answer next year in front of a judge.

4. Are spousal ranges presented as what they are? The Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines are advisory. A tool that presents SSAG ranges without saying so is teaching your file a bad habit.

5. What happens when new disclosure lands? Files move. If an updated statement means re-typing the file, the tool has priced your staff’s time at zero.

CaseClarity includes support calculations in its flat subscription: because the team has already read the file, the inputs come from the documents themselves, every input traceable to its source, every calculation stamped with the table versions it used, and the AI never does the math. Ask for the numbers three ways, shared parenting against primary residence against the schedule opposing proposed, and each scenario comes back as its own stamped sheet.

And we would say this plainly, because it is true: a calculator, on its own, is worth calculator money. If a standalone calculator is all your practice needs, cheaper standalone options exist and you should use one. CaseClarity is an alternative to DivorceMate the way a colleague is an alternative to a spreadsheet: the calculation arrives because the file has already been read, by a team that also runs the research, drafts the work, and watches the deadlines. The calculator comes included with that. It is not the reason to choose it.
