EVERYTHING A CHILDHOOD COSTS AND HOW TO SHARE IT
THE CHILDREN'S EXPENSES CHECKLIST
Child support covers the basics of existence. It was never designed to cover the cost of a childhood: the swimming lessons, the braces, the band camp, the phone plan, the driving lessons still to come. You see it every month. What you may not have yet is a way to put it in front of the other parent so they understand the scale of it, and a clear way to share it going forward.
This free checklist turns everything you're carrying into one page you can both look at, plus five ways to share it and the one move that changes how the conversation lands.
- Childhood costs organised so the other parent can understand
- What's coming next, so the conversation covers the whole picture
- Five ways to share, and the move that turns a number into a conversation about your child

I'm Marnie Cooper
MEDIATOR, NEGOTIATOR AND FAMILY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PRACTITIONER
You're the one the invoices come to. You book the dentist, you notice the school shoes have worn through, you cover the excursions before the note gets lost. You are carrying most of it. You see what a childhood costs. The question you are left with is how to share it and how to help the other parent see what you already see.
This is the checklist I give to the parents who come to me for mediation and where I prepare them for the conversations that keep their children doing the things they love.
The whole picture, in one place, before you say a word.
“Thanks to you I wasn't as derailed as I thought I'd be. This clarity, reinforced by my notes, helped me avoid agreeing to something I wasn't comfortable with."

“You're going through a divorce, so conversation will at the very least be strained. I recommend working with Marnie to make your future life easier and save you further angst."
