Log every shared child expense with a receipt, see the running balance, and export a statement your co-parent, attorney, or judge can read without a translator. Reimbursement fights are usually record fights.
Each entry captures date, category, amount, child, receipt image, and the clause of your order it falls under, medical, extracurricular, school, childcare, or other. Categorizing at entry time is what makes the export usable months later.
Set the split your order specifies, whether that is 50/50, income-proportional, or category-specific, and the balance updates automatically. When a payment arrives, mark it against specific line items rather than the total, so partial reimbursements stay traceable.
Send a reimbursement request with the receipt attached and a neutral message. The request, the response, and the silence are all timestamped, which is the record you need when the pattern rather than the individual expense is the problem.
Produce a dated statement listing every expense, every payment, and the outstanding balance, with receipts appended. Exports are available on paid plans; logging and receipt storage are free.
Most disputes fall into four patterns: expenses incurred without the required advance agreement, receipts submitted months late, categories the order never actually covered, and partial payments applied to the wrong line items. Logging at the moment of purchase with a category and receipt eliminates the first three, and applying payments line by line eliminates the fourth. When a co-parent disputes an item, the useful reply is the entry itself with its date, receipt, and the clause it falls under.
