Nudj calculates the minimum settlements, turning many potential payments into just a few transfers.
The tricky parts of splitting co-parenting costs
Agreed vs unilateral expenses
Both parents should agree on large purchases before they happen. A $500 camp enrollment should be discussed, not a surprise.
Insurance and medical splits
When one parent carries the insurance, the other typically splits out of pocket costs. Track copays, prescriptions, and uncovered expenses separately.
Receipts and documentation
Co-parenting expense records may be needed for legal or tax purposes. An app provides a clear, timestamped log that both parents can access.
Changing the split ratio
Custody arrangements and income levels change. Review and adjust the split percentage annually or when circumstances shift.
Clear records, fewer disagreements
Both parents track every shared child expense in Nudj. Transparent, timestamped, and always accessible.
