The ledger doesn't take sides.
5.0shop rating · 6 Etsy reviewsThe ledger doesn't take sides. Most co-parenting money fights aren't about the $40 cleats — they're about the scorekeeping. Receipts scattered across three apps, support paid “I think on the 3rd?”, and nobody quite sure who covered camp. This is the neutral file that ends it: every shared expense split by the method you both agreed to, a one-transfer settlement statement every month, a child-support ledger with live arrears math, and a custody calendar that counts itself.
- Shared expenses split three ways: 50/50 · income-proportional · custom %
- Settle Up: each month nets to ONE transfer — “Dana → Jamie $301.86”
- Child-support ledger: due vs paid, on-time tracking, arrears in both directions
- Custody calendar that counts itself — type J or D each night
- Court-Ready Summary compiled live from your records (complete months only)
Overview
The ledger doesn't take sides.
The ledger doesn't take sides. Most co-parenting money fights aren't about the $40 cleats — they're about the scorekeeping. Receipts scattered across three apps, support paid “I think on the 3rd?”, and nobody quite sure who covered camp. This is the neutral file that ends it: every shared expense split by the method you both agreed to, a one-transfer settlement statement every month, a child-support ledger with live arrears math, and a custody calendar that counts itself.
Custody printables give you blank boxes; this one computes.

Key Benefits
Why this one
Every expense logged once, split by the agreed method, with a running who-owes-whom balance.
Settle Up nets everything to a single transfer — mark it settled, done arguing.
Support due vs paid with on-time tracking — $4,550 paid, $0 arrears, 6 of 7 on time in the sample.
J and D typed nightly become monthly counts and the year's split — 51.2/48.8 in the sample.
Exchange, communication and incident logs kept brief, neutral and factual — the tone courts respect.
921 formulas · recalculated clean · 32/32 independent math checks. Every image is the real file.
Who It's For
Built for
- Co-parents tired of receipt archaeology and settle-up fights
- Parents who need support payments documented, not remembered
- Anyone preparing clean records for mediation or review
- Households where both parents share one neutral file
How It Works
Up and running in minutes
The ACCESS-YOUR-TEMPLATE.pdf in your download opens a copy in Google Sheets with one click
50/50, income-proportional or custom % — set once, both parents see the same math
Date, child, item, who paid — shares and the running balance compute
One statement, one transfer, mark it settled
The calendar counts nights, splits and holiday exceptions; the Court-Ready Summary compiles itself
Why It's Different
Not another template
Custody printables give you blank boxes. This one computes: the splits, the statements, the arrears, the nights — 921 formulas doing the bookkeeping so handoffs stay about the kids. Both parents can use it: keep identical copies or share one Google Sheets file — the math reads the same from either side. Neutral by design.
Delivery & Compatibility
Instant, and works with what you use
As soon as your order is complete you get instant access to download your files. Prefer Google Sheets for real-time updates and dropdowns? It's fully optimized. More comfortable in Excel? It works just as well.
Built and tested in the latest Excel (Office 365). On Mac we recommend the Google Sheets version — the template is not compatible with Apple Numbers. Available in English. The template ships with sample data so every screen works on open; clear it whenever you're ready. The images and video show that sample data to demonstrate how it looks in use.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Does it work in Google Sheets?
Yes — and this one is one-click: the ACCESS-YOUR-TEMPLATE.pdf in your download opens a copy straight into Google Sheets. The .xlsx works in Excel too.
Can both parents use it?
Yes — keep identical copies or share one Google Sheets file. The math reads the same from either side; the ledger doesn't take sides.
Which split methods are supported?
Three, set once in Settings: 50/50, income-proportional (the sample runs 60/40), or a custom percentage.
Is the Court-Ready Summary legal advice?
No — this is a record-keeping tool, not legal advice. The summary compiles support paid vs ordered, expense totals, custody nights (complete months only) and documentation counts from your own records, ready to print and sign.
Is anything pre-loaded?
A sample arrangement (Jamie & Dana, kids Ava and Max) ships inside so every screen works on open — clear it when you're ready.
Can I get a refund on a digital download?
Because delivery is instant, all sales are final — but message us with any issue and we'll make it right.
