What can you do with Expenses?

With OurFamilyWizard® Expenses, you’ll spend less time on co-parenting finances, and you’ll face less stress from financial disagreements. (Plus, you’ll need fewer apps.) 

Make it simple

No more confusing spreadsheets or complex budgeting apps. Our Expenses feature is straightforward and easy to navigate. Keep everything centralised and simplified.

Money is a tough topic, but it’s easier when it’s streamlined.  

Focus on the expense

When you create an expense, you have to fill out all the fields (purchase date, category, amount, etc.). This template creates clear records. But the only open-ended field is “Expense name”—so you don’t have to open up a conversation beyond the facts.  

Just a brief, business-like transaction. 

Keep conversations honest

Money talk can get complicated and even emotional—especially if it’s a case of your word against your co-parent’s. But if you logged a payment through the app or posted a reimbursement request with an attached receipt, then the record is clear.  

It’s one way to cut down on conflict.

Frequently asked questions

How do payments work in OurFamilyWizard?

In Expenses, you can pay one or more expenses at a time, and you can pay them in full or in part.

Can I edit or delete an expense?

Yes but only if you created it, and your co-parent hasn’t responded yet. Once it becomes a two-way interaction, it’s a permanent part of the expenses record.  

What if my co-parent creates an incorrect expense?

If your co-parent sends a request that is inaccurate, you always have the option to refuse the request. It is still logged in the register, but marked as “refused.” 

Document everything, easily

  • Permanently log every expense 
  • Record all expense activity in one place 
  • Create custom PDF reports quickly 
  • Save time, stress, and legal fees

If you give your family law professionals access, they can download court-admissible expense reports, too.
