How to Add a Personal Expense:

In SupportPay you can also track personal expenses. Personal expenses are expenses that may not be related to a child and may be directly related to a parent.

To track a personal expense, when creating a new expense, check the checkbox next to "Personal".

NOTE: A reason a parent may want to track personal expenses is so they can provide documentation on their current household expenses, outside the scope of child support.

For example, if a parent is seeking to modify a child support order and wishes to show the court documentation on their current household expenses they can track these expenses as personal expenses. This would provide information to a legal professional the current financial obligations of the parent, in order to justify a child support review or modification.

Personal expenses are:

• Not shared with the other parent
• The amount owed is only allocated to the parent that chose to track the item as personal

Start by:

Clicking 'Add Expense' at the top right of the page.

Select 'Direct' or 'Reimbursement', then click 'Next'.

Check the 'Personal' box, along with the child(ren), category, Expense date, due date, and then click 'Next'.

Enter the amount and hit Next

Add receipt or select 'Receipt unavailable' then click 'submit'
