Child expenses between co-parents, split clearly

School, sports, doctor, clothes: in FamSync every child expense has its receipt, who paid it and each parent's share. The balance updates by itself and you both see it, each on your own phone.

How do separated parents split child expenses?

Usually your parenting plan, separation agreement or court order says so: some costs are covered by child support, others are shared by a percentage, often 50/50. FamSync doesn't decide for you and gives no legal advice: it records each expense with the split you agreed on and keeps the balance.

How does expense splitting work in FamSync?

Each expense has an amount, who paid it, how it's split between the parents and, if you like, a photo of the receipt. The app adds everything up and shows the balance: who owes whom, and how much. When one of you pays the other back, even in part, you record the payment and the balance updates for both.

1. Snap the receipt: the amount and date fill in by themselves.
2. Choose who paid and the split: even, 50/50, or custom with your own percentages.
3. Your co-parent sees the expense on their phone, with the receipt attached.
4. The balance shows who owes what; payments back, even partial ones, are recorded in the app.

Which child expenses can you track?

Any you share: school fees and books, lunches, sports, doctor and dentist, medicine, clothes, trips and birthdays. Each expense has a free description and a photo of the receipt. Which costs count as shared extras is up to your agreement, not the app.

Can you export co-parenting expenses?

Yes. Expenses export to Excel or CSV, with date, description, amount, who paid and each share, and they go into the PDF report for the period you choose, together with the calendar and messages. It's useful to keep, or to show your lawyer or family mediator.
