FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is FairSplit?

FairSplit is a shared child expense app for divorced and separated parents. Log expenses with receipt photos, send payment requests via SMS, collect money via ACH through Stripe, and export court-friendly PDFs. The Free plan is free forever — no credit card required. Pro is $9.99/month per pair for unlimited requests, ACH payments, court PDF export, and more.

How does the payment actually work?

Upload a receipt and submit a request. Your co-parent gets an SMS link — no app needed — and approves in any browser; Stripe processes an ACH transfer directly to your bank. See the exact fee breakdown below the pricing cards.

What if my ex refuses to download the app?

Your co-parent never needs to download anything. They receive an SMS link and respond in any browser. When your co-parent receives their first clean, professional SMS payment request, most come around within the first week.

Is the court PDF actually usable in court?

Yes. FairSplit's PDF export is designed for attorney and court documentation workflows — one family law attorney described getting "everything I needed in five minutes" from a client's FairSplit report.

Admissibility varies by state and judge. Confirm specific requirements with your family law attorney.

What makes FairSplit different from other co-parenting apps?

FairSplit is the only co-parenting app with true expense escrow — funds held until both parties approve, then transferred via Stripe ACH. It also includes structured 3-step dispute resolution, per-pair pricing so both parents get in for $9.99/month, and guaranteed data export regardless of subscription status.

Why does FairSplit charge per pair instead of per person?

Per-person pricing creates an adoption standoff. If one parent thinks the app benefits the other more, they refuse to pay — and nothing gets set up. Per-pair pricing means one parent pays $9.99/month and both get full access. No standoff. No negotiation about who pays for the app.
