Template Limitations

Manual email requests require saving PDF attachments manually and lack automated payment integration. FairSplit Solo Mode automates this process by sending structured web payment links that allow instant browser approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should reimbursement requests be sent via email?

Email creates a written, searchable thread with clear date stamps, making it easier for both co-parents and attorneys to track notification history.

How long should I give my co-parent to respond?

Most parenting agreements stipulate a 14-day or 30-day window for reviewing receipts and settling child expense reimbursements.
