Divorce household inventory checklist

What to document before moving out or starting property division

If divorce, separation, or mediation is becoming real, create a clean record of ordinary household contents while you still have access. HalfYourStuff turns room photos into an organized PDF and Excel inventory.

Divorce inventory checklist

  • Wide photos of every room and storage area
  • Furniture, appliances, electronics, tools, and equipment
  • Collections, hobby gear, seasonal items, and garage contents
  • Close-ups of make, model, serial number, or condition details
  • Notes for separate property, gifts, or disputed items
  • Items removed, missing, or moved to storage
  • Receipts, comparable links, or appraisal notes for valuable items
  • PDF and Excel exports for attorney or mediator review

Before you move out

Photograph each room before boxes, furniture, or tools disappear into separate homes, storage units, or relatives' garages.

Before mediation

Bring one shared list instead of arguing from memory. The spreadsheet can be filtered by room, notes, and estimated value.

Before attorney handoff

Give your attorney an organized starting point they can annotate, compare against disclosures, or combine with receipts and appraisals.

Important limit

HalfYourStuff is not legal advice and does not decide ownership. It creates an organized inventory. Ask your attorney how to treat separate property, disputed items, appraisals, and court-specific requirements.
