For people representing themselves

Practical tools for your next steps.

Use Separato to explore support estimates and organize co-parenting information. Start with free tools. Separato is an independent self-service platform; legal advice is a separate service from a lawyer you choose.

Free basics. No credit card. Calculator coverage depends on the tool, inputs and year.

“We know this isn't where you planned to be. Separato exists to make this chapter easier — for you, your kids, and your future.”

Always Free

Separato is software, not a law firm or crisis service. You choose whether to engage a lawyer.

You don't have to figure this out alone.
