I have a sum of $30,632.12 that needs to be separated the following three ways:

Let the part that is .25 be x



Then each of the parts that are .50 are twice as much or 2x,



So we add up the parts 



2x + 2x + x = $30632.12

         5x = $30632.12

          x = $6126.424



so 2x = $12252.848



So the .25 part is $6126.424 and each of the 

.50 parts are $12252.848

Sorry but the breakdown that you give is 125%
.50 and .50 add up to 1
Perhaps you meant .50 .25 and .25
2x+x+x=30632.12
4x=30632.12
x=7658.03
2x=15316.06
