The balance always shows what needs to be settled and by whom, so both parents start from the same numbers.
Request repayment on shared costs. The other parent can approve or decline, and every decision stays in the record.
Attach proof to each expense so disagreements do not turn into a search through text threads.
Sort spending into categories like activities, medical, and school for a clear history over time.
Track 50/50 and other split arrangements on each line item so partial responsibility stays visible.
Include expense history in tamper-evident PDF exports when a mediator, lawyer, or accountant asks for documentation.
