Split a student's tuition between two parents

A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 7 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.

How to split a student's tuition between two parents

1Click Students under People in the sidebar and search for the student in Search students.
2Open the student and click the Family tab. The Guardians card lists both parents.
3On the Guardians card, click Split tuition.
4Type each parent's share in their "[Name] pays" field. The shares have to add up to 100%; leave someone blank if they don't pay a share.
5Read the notes: aid comes off the whole bill first and then the shares divide what's left; fees still go to the billing contact; invoices already sent don't change.
6Click Save. Each parent now gets their own invoice, their own autopay and their own payment history, and neither sees the other's.
7To change it later, click Change the split; to go back to one payer, click Stop splitting.

Put each family on a plan, run billing once a month, and let Stripe and automatic reminders do the collecting — families pay right in the portal.
