Shared Expense Splitter for Co-Parents
Your ex just texted a receipt: "Soccer registration $340. Your half is $170."
Except you paid for the cleats last month. And the urgent care copay. And you're pretty sure you covered the last two haircuts. But you can't remember the exact amounts, and your Venmo history is mixed in with everything else, and now you're scrolling through texts from three months ago trying to prove what you already know.
The longer you take to respond, the worse this gets.
You're not fighting about the kids. You're fighting about $47.
Most co-parents track shared expenses in a Notes app that gets abandoned, a Google Sheet that one person stops updating, or a text thread that's also full of schedule changes and resentment. The real workaround? Eating costs you shouldn't have to eat because proving you're owed $34 isn't worth the argument.
This template tracks every shared expense—medical, school, activities, childcare—with configurable split ratios (50/50, 60/40, whatever your agreement says). Log it once, attach the receipt, and the running balance updates automatically. At any moment, you can see exactly who owes whom and why.
No more reconstructing three months of texts. No more mental math that doesn't match your ex's mental math. Just a number you can both point to.
15-20 shared expenses per month. That's the reality of co-parenting. Each one logged, split, and settled—without the 10pm text thread argument.
