FairLedger

Co-parenting made simpler

Track shared expenses, coordinate schedules, and communicate clearly — all in one place. Because your kids deserve parents who work together.

No credit card required. Free for your first family.

Trusted by co-parents who put their kids first

Designed for families like yours

Everything you need to co-parent well

Stop juggling texts, spreadsheets, and arguments. FairLedger puts it all in one accountable, organized place.

Shared Expenses

Track who paid what with configurable splits. Shared expenses, reimbursements, support payments, and adjustments — each with its own workflow. Running balance updates in real time after every approval.

Custody Calendar

Color-coded custody schedule shows who has the kids at a glance. Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly alternating patterns. Formal swap requests with an approval workflow keep schedule changes fair and documented.

Unified Conversations Hub

Not just messaging — a single hub for every conversation. Standalone threads, notes embedded on expenses, discussions attached to calendar events and custody swaps. Every message timestamped, read-tracked, and permanent.

Approval Workflows

Every expense and custody swap requires mutual agreement before it takes effect. No one-sided decisions. Both parents stay in control with confirm and deny actions, complete with timestamps and notifications.

Recurring Expenses

Set up monthly expenses like child support, insurance, or tutoring once. They auto-post on schedule so nothing gets forgotten. Configurable day of month, split ratio, and category for each recurring rule.

Immutable Records

Nothing can be altered after the fact. Every transaction, message, and decision has a permanent audit trail with timestamps and read receipts. Peace of mind for both parents — and their attorneys.

The financial backbone

Expenses that are actually fair

No more spreadsheets, no more arguments about who paid what. FairLedger tracks every dollar with full transparency and mutual approval.

  • Confirm or deny

    Every expense needs approval from the other parent before it affects the balance. Pending items are front and center.

  • 💰

    Four transaction types

    Shared expenses, reimbursements, support payments (alimony/child support), and adjustments that link back to the original transaction.

  • 📈

    Running balance

    See who owes whom at any point in time. Each confirmed transaction shows its impact and the cumulative balance.

  • 🔄

    Smart adjustments

    Need to correct a past expense? Pick the original, enter the corrected amount, and FairLedger calculates the adjustment automatically.

What sets us apart

Every conversation, one place

Other co-parenting apps treat messaging as a separate inbox. FairLedger weaves conversations into everything you do.

  • 💬

    Standalone threads

    Create conversations for any topic — "Spring Break Plans", "School Forms", whatever you need.

  • 💰

    Notes on expenses

    Discuss a specific expense right on the transaction. "Why was this $65?" stays attached to that line item forever.

  • 📅

    Notes on events & swaps

    Coordinate pickup times, discuss schedule changes, or work out swap details — all linked to the specific event.

  • 🔴

    Smart unread badges

    Red = messages you need to read. Yellow = messages you sent that they haven't read yet. You always know the status.
