Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about using HalfYourStuff for divorce asset documentation.
How much does HalfYourStuff cost?
HalfYourStuff costs $10 per purchase, which includes 25 high-resolution image uploads, unlimited AI-powered item identification, and professional PDF and Excel reports. There is no subscription required—you only pay when you need to process images. If you need more capacity, you can purchase additional credits anytime for the same $10 price.
Can I use this for divorce property division?
Yes, HalfYourStuff is specifically designed for divorce property documentation. It creates detailed inventory reports with photos, descriptions, and AI-estimated valuations for furniture, appliances, and other household items that can be shared with attorneys, mediators, and used in divorce proceedings. The Excel export format makes it easy for legal professionals to work with the data.
How long does it take to create a property inventory?
Most users complete their inventory in about 5 minutes of active work. The AI processing itself takes only seconds per image. Once your photos are uploaded, you receive your complete itemized report instantly. The total time depends on how many rooms and items you photograph, but the process is designed to be quick and straightforward.
What file formats does HalfYourStuff accept?
HalfYourStuff accepts JPEG, PNG, and HEIC files, making it fully compatible with iPhone photos and most digital cameras. HEIC is the default format for newer iPhones, so you can upload photos directly from your phone without converting them first. Each image can be up to 20MB in size.
Is my data secure and private?
Yes, your data is stored securely in the cloud with encryption. We understand the sensitive nature of divorce proceedings and maintain strict privacy and security standards. Your photos and inventory data are only accessible to you and are never shared with third parties. You can delete your data at any time.
How accurate are the AI valuations?
AI-generated valuations are estimates based on the item type, condition, and current market data. They provide three values: original cost (what you likely paid), replacement value (cost to buy new today), and resale value (what you might get selling it). These estimates are useful starting points for discussions, but for high-value items or legal proceedings, you may want to get professional appraisals.
Can I edit the AI-generated inventory?
Yes, you can review and edit any item in your inventory before downloading reports. You can correct item names, adjust values, add notes, or remove items that were incorrectly identified. The goal is to give you a solid starting point that you can refine as needed.
What report formats are available?
HalfYourStuff provides both PDF and Excel (XLSX) reports. The PDF is formatted for easy reading and sharing with attorneys or mediators. The Excel format is ideal for attorneys and financial planners who need to sort, filter, or perform calculations on the data. Both formats include all items, photos, descriptions, and valuations.
Can I preview the report before I buy credits?
Yes. Visit our sample report preview to see the structure of the PDF summary and spreadsheet output before you create an account.
Is HalfYourStuff a substitute for legal advice?
No. HalfYourStuff is a documentation tool, not legal advice. Laws regarding property division vary by location, and divorce proceedings have specific requirements that depend on your jurisdiction. Always consult with a qualified family law attorney about what documentation is appropriate and legally required for your situation.
Can I share my report directly with my attorney?
Yes. Download your report as a PDF or Excel file and send it directly to your attorney, mediator, or financial advisor. The PDF is formatted for easy reading, while Excel lets your attorney sort, filter, and calculate totals by ownership category. Many attorneys find Excel most useful because they can annotate it and incorporate it into their own documents.
What if items have already been moved or removed from the home?
Document what you can access. If items have been removed by your spouse, photograph the space where the item was if possible, and add a written description in the notes field describing what was there. This creates a timestamped record of the absence. For items you know existed but can no longer photograph, consider whether receipts, bank records, photos, or other documentation can support your account — your attorney can advise on what's most useful.
Will my report hold up in mediation or court?
HalfYourStuff produces a structured, timestamped asset inventory with AI-estimated fair market values. Mediators and courts generally find itemized lists with valuations useful as a starting point for negotiation. The report's value in proceedings depends on your jurisdiction, opposing counsel, and the specific items in question. For high-value items — jewelry, art, antiques, collectibles — a professional appraiser's valuation will carry more legal weight. Your attorney can advise on what level of documentation is required for your situation.
