Reviewing and Responding to Expenses

When You Receive an Expense

You'll be notified when your co-parent submits an expense for your approval.

Your Options

Approve

• You agree the expense is valid and your share is correct
• Click Approve — no further action needed

Decline

• You disagree with the expense
• Click Decline and select a reason:
  • Not a shared expense
  • Amount is incorrect
  • Wasn't discussed/pre-approved
  • Duplicate submission
  • Other (explain)

Request Changes

• The concept is fine but details need adjustment
• Suggest a different amount or split

What Happens to Declined Expenses

Declined expenses:

• Remain in the record (they're not deleted)
• Show as "Declined" with your reason
• Don't affect the settlement calculation
• Can be referenced if the dispute continues
