Divorce Use Cases for HalfYourStuff

The product is most useful when you need a clean, shareable record of ordinary household contents before property discussions become messy.

Pre-filing documentation

Use HalfYourStuff while you still have routine access to the home. Photograph each room, create a record of what exists, and capture ordinary household goods before anything is moved or disputed.

  • Create a room-by-room inventory before separation logistics get harder.
  • Preserve photo evidence of furniture, appliances, electronics, tools, kitchenware, and collections.
  • Start with one organized export instead of a phone camera roll full of loose images.

Mediation preparation

Mediation goes better when both sides are reacting to the same list. The PDF and spreadsheet make it easier to discuss actual items rather than argue over memory.

  • Bring a concise PDF to the meeting or send it ahead of time.
  • Use spreadsheet filters to sort by room, ownership, or disputed status.
  • Separate ordinary household items from the few assets that need outside appraisal.

Attorney handoff

Attorneys do not want to reconstruct your home from screenshots and text messages. The export gives them a working document they can annotate, organize, and compare against financial disclosures.

  • Share the spreadsheet as a starting point for property division analysis.
  • Keep your own PDF for quick reference during meetings and calls.
  • Use notes to flag items you believe are separate property or likely to be disputed.

Missing or disputed items

The platform cannot prove every ownership claim, but it helps you create a stronger record of what was present when you documented the home and what you marked as contested.

  • Note disputed items before negotiations begin.
  • Document remaining evidence in rooms where items may already be gone.
  • Give your attorney a clearer record to combine with receipts, statements, or appraisals.

Important limit

HalfYourStuff is a documentation tool, not a legal opinion. It is strongest for ordinary household contents. For jewelry, fine art, antiques, firearms, business assets, or other high-value property, your attorney may still want specialized valuation or appraisal support.
