Example Output
Settlement Analysis Summary:
Asset Division:
- Marital home valued at $450,000; counterparty proposes they retain home + $120,000 offset
- ⚠️ Risk: Valuation may be outdated; recommend independent appraisal

Spousal Support:
- Proposed: $3,500/month for 8 years (marriage length 10 years)
- ⚠️ Risk: Below guideline calculation (~$4,200/mo); appears undervalued
- ✓ Recommendation: Counter at $4,000/month + cost-of-living adjustment clause
Child Support:
- Proposed: $2,000/month; 60/40 custody split
- ✓ Complies with state guidelines
