Divorce household inventory checklist

Your Divorce Asset Inventory: What to Document Before Moving Out or 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.

What This Household Inventory List for Divorce Covers

This household inventory list for divorce follows the categories most divorce and mediation processes require: furniture, appliances, electronics, tools, and other tangible personal property in every room, garage, and storage area. Each entry can include a photo, a brief description, condition notes, and an estimated value, along with flags for items that are separate property, gifts, or already removed from the home. The finished checklist exports to PDF and Excel, so it can be shared with an attorney, mediator, or the other party without reformatting. Because photos are timestamped, the record also shows what was present in the home on a given date, which can matter if items are moved, sold, or disputed before property division is finalized.

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.
