Co-Parenting Spreadsheet: overview of what's included

Overview

The Co-Parenting Tracker is for the numbers side of sharing custody. Mark each night of the year with a parent's name and the dashboard shows overnights and parenting time for each of you, month by month. Enter shared costs with your split, whether that's 50/50, 60/40 or anything else, and it shows who owes whom.

A 36-month child support log keeps a running balance, even with partial payments, and the exchange log works out how late a handover was. Works in Google Sheets, Excel and Numbers.

Questions

How do I calculate parenting time percentage?

Count each parent's overnights and divide by the nights in the period. The tracker does this for you: choose a name for each night on the calendar and the dashboard shows each parent's percentage by month.

Does it work in Excel?

Yes. You get a Google Sheets copy link and an Excel file, and it also works in Numbers.

Does it calculate how much child support I should pay?

No. It tracks the amount due from your order against what's been paid. How support and parenting time are calculated varies by state, so it isn't financial or legal advice.

Can we both use it?

Each parent can keep a copy. If you share a Google Sheets copy, you'll both see the same entries.
