FairLedger for Legal & Mediation Professionals

The challenge

What your clients bring to the table

Before FairLedger, co-parenting financial records tend to arrive in one of three states — none of them useful.

One-sided

A spreadsheet or app only one parent used. The other parent hasn't seen it, hasn't agreed to it, and disputes most of it.

Incomplete

Missing receipts, vague descriptions, gaps of months. Reconstructing the history takes billable hours and produces a contested estimate.

Unverifiable

Editable files, screenshots, and text messages. No timestamps, no chain of custody, no way to prove nothing was changed after the fact.

What FairLedger produces

A record built for professional review

⚖️

Mutual acknowledgment

Every expense is submitted by one parent and reviewed by the other — approved or disputed with a documented reason. Both parties are on record.

🔒

Append-only audit trail

Approved and disputed entries cannot be edited or deleted. The history is permanent. Corrections enter as new records — the original stays visible.

🕐

Contemporaneous entries

Expenses are timestamped at submission. The record shows when each entry was made — not when it was convenient to add it.

📎

Receipt attachment

Photos, PDFs, and insurance EOBs attach directly to the transaction they support. Dollar amounts are backed by documentation, not memory.

📊

Separate ledgers

Child support obligations and shared expense reimbursements are tracked independently. No informal netting, no misleading combined balances.

📄

One-tap PDF export

A clean, printable report covering any date range — every transaction, its status, the running balance, and disputed entries clearly marked.

Beyond the ledger

Custody and communication, documented too

FairLedger isn't just an expense tracker. The custody calendar logs formal swap requests with a full request-and-response audit trail. Every conversation between co-parents is attached to the specific expense, event, or swap it relates to — not lost in a text thread.

Custody calendar with colour-coded daily custody assignments
Formal swap requests — submitted, responded to, and preserved
Notes threaded to individual transactions, events, and swap requests
Available on both web and iOS — no platform barrier for either parent

When one client isn't ready to participate

FairLedger includes a solo mode for clients who want to begin building a timestamped record before — or without — their co-parent's cooperation. Solo entries are logged individually, receipts attach normally, and the record transitions to full mutual acknowledgment mode the moment the other parent joins.

A solo record is not a jointly verified record — but a timestamped, receipt-backed history of one parent's out-of-pocket spending is a useful foundation, particularly when the other parent's cooperation is in dispute.

Recommend FairLedger to a client

Clients can sign up for a free 30-day trial — no credit card required. They can start in solo mode immediately, and invite their co-parent when ready.
