Frequently Asked Questions

FairLedger is a shared expense and communication tool designed for co-parents. It helps track expenses, document conversations tied to those expenses, and maintain a clear record of what was submitted, approved, or disputed.

FairLedger is built for co-parents who share financial responsibilities for their children. It works for both cooperative situations and higher-conflict dynamics where structure and documentation are important.

Those tools track payments or conversations — but not both in a structured, connected way. FairLedger:

• Links messages directly to each expense
• Tracks approval and dispute status
• Maintains a clear history of who submitted and responded to each item
• Keeps everything in one place instead of scattered across apps

No. You can use FairLedger on your own in solo mode to track expenses and maintain your own records.

However, when both parents participate, you get shared visibility, approvals, and a more complete, verified record.

If both parents are using FairLedger:

• The other parent is notified
• They can approve, dispute, or comment on the expense
• The expense does not affect balances until it is approved

In solo mode:

• You can still record and organize expenses
• Entries are marked as your own records without shared verification

Either parent can mark an expense as disputed and add comments explaining their position.

FairLedger does not resolve disputes — it documents them clearly so there is a transparent record of what was submitted and how each parent responded.

No. FairLedger tracks and documents expenses and balances, but payments are made outside the app (e.g., Venmo, Zelle, bank transfer).

You can record that a payment was made and attach proof if needed.

FairLedger creates a clear, structured record of expenses, approvals, and communication. However, it does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee that records will be accepted in court.

You can export your records to share with an attorney or mediator if needed.

No. Entries are tied to the user who created them, and the system maintains a complete history of submissions, approvals, and comments.

This helps ensure transparency and prevents one parent from altering the other's records.

Messages can be:

• Attached directly to specific expenses
• Added to events or shared activities
• Viewed together in a centralized message view

This keeps communication tied to the context where it matters.

Your data is only visible to you and the other parent in your shared account. FairLedger uses modern infrastructure and access controls to protect your information.

We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

You can still use FairLedger in solo mode to track your own records.

However, shared visibility, approvals, and dispute tracking require both parents to participate.

Yes. You can export your records, including expenses and associated details, for your own use or to share with a third party if needed.

Yes. Many users find it helpful to share structured records with legal professionals.
