Published April 12, 2025
Courts often ask litigants to separate personal, business, or disputed transactions. BankSummaryLedger helps you paste CSV data and categorize it without exposing the information to third parties.
When to use this
- You need to prove payment history in a divorce, support, or damages case.
- A court order requires categorized spending summaries.
- You want a fast way to reconcile your records before deposition.
How to do it (fast)
- Export transactions from your bank, making sure the CSV includes date, description, amount, and category columns if available.
- Paste the data into BankSummaryLedger and adjust category labels as needed before generating the PDF.
- Download the ledger and pair it with exhibits, declarations, or testimony as supporting evidence.
Why this helps
- Creates clear totals that judges and mediators can review without additional math.
- Supports claims for damages, support, or reimbursements by showing categorized spending.
- Keeps private banking information on your own device, reducing confidentiality concerns.
