You deserve to know your numbers before you sign anything.
Divorce is one of the most permanent financial decisions of your life. Forwd gives you the complete picture — what you own, what you owe, and what fair actually looks like — before you agree to anything.
The Situation
Most people going into divorce don't fully know what they have.
If your spouse handled the finances, you're not alone. The accounts, the retirement funds, the debts you didn't know existed — it all surfaces at the worst possible moment. And you're being asked to evaluate offers, sign documents, and make permanent decisions about a financial picture you were never fully shown.
"I don't even know what I have"
Walking into a settlement without knowing your full asset picture is like negotiating a contract you've never read.
"I can't tell if this offer is fair"
$100K in a 401(k) is not the same as $100K in savings. Most people find out too late.
"I don't know if I can afford to live alone"
The question keeping many people frozen longer than they want to be isn't should I leave — it's will I be okay.
We Get It
This isn't a personal failure. It's an information problem.
Lots of people made a perfectly reasonable decision to let their spouse handle the finances. That worked — until it didn't. Now you're in the middle of a process that assumes you already know your numbers. Forwd exists to close that gap. Not a lawyer. Not a financial advisor. A clear, structured tool that walks you through exactly what you need to know, in plain English, before you sign anything.

No financial background required
Attorney-ready financial inventory, organized before your first meeting
Private. Your data is never shared.
How It Works
Three steps to knowing your numbers.
Build your financial picture
Walk through a guided inventory of everything you own, owe, and earn — both spouses — organized exactly the way your attorney will eventually ask for it. Stop discovering things you didn't know existed.
Understand what's fair
Model different settlement scenarios side by side. See the real after-tax value of what's being proposed. Get a realistic estimate of support payments based on your state and situation. Option A vs. Option B — here's what you actually walk away with.
Answer the question you're really asking
Run your “new life” budget. Enter your individual income and expected expenses. Get a clear surplus or deficit: Can I afford to live on my own? That answer, clearly, is what Forwd is for.
What This Looks Like
You walk in prepared. That changes everything.
You sit down at mediation with a complete financial snapshot already built. You can see that the settlement on the table is worth less than it looks after tax. You've already run the numbers on keeping the house versus taking liquid assets. You know what support payments are likely to look like in your state. You're not guessing. You're not waiting to be told. You know your numbers.
“Now I manage my own finances, I've bought and sold two homes. I was dependent on my ex. Now I do everything myself — and that is a huge accomplishment.”
“When I finally moved out, I found I could live on my one paycheck, buy the things I wanted, and put money in savings. It was truly liberating.”
“"I will never let this happen to me again." — this time, a promise you can keep.”
What's at Stake
The legal process doesn't wait for you to feel ready.
Discovery deadlines, settlement windows, and court dates arrive whether or not you understand your financial picture. Every week you spend not knowing your numbers is a week the other side potentially does. One woman later showed her divorce papers to her accountant sister and discovered two words that changed everything — assets her ex had kept off the disclosure. She'd already signed.
