From the plan on paper to the plan in the app
Most parenting plans describe a rotation (week on/week off, 2-2-3, every other weekend with a midweek dinner), a set of exchange times and places, holiday arrangements and a rule for splitting the children's costs. Each of those maps onto something in CoParent.
- Rotation → custody blocks on the calendar, colour-coded per parent and repeated weekly where the pattern is fixed
- Exchange times and places → exchange events with a time and location, with reminders
- Changes to the plan → swap requests the other parent accepts or declines
- Cost sharing → shared expenses split 50/50 with receipts attached and a running balance
- Children's information → one profile per child: school, doctors, allergies, medications, insurance, emergency contacts
- Communication → one family thread, with an optional calmer rewrite before you send on Premium
Keeping the plan honest
A plan drifts: a swap here, a late pickup there, a cost nobody remembers agreeing to. CoParent records those changes where they happen — the swap has a status, the exchange has an attendance note, the expense has a receipt and a settled date. Both parents see the same record, so you spend less time reconstructing August and more time on the children.
What CoParent will not do
It will not write your parenting plan, interpret a court order or tell you what you are entitled to. CoParent is not legal advice, not a court tool and does not replace a lawyer, mediator or court process. Premium exports of shared activity are for your own records only, not a legal document. For anything about the agreement itself, speak with a qualified attorney or mediator.
Free for both parents
The calendar, swaps, attendance, messages, expenses and profiles for up to two children are free for both parents. Premium adds unlimited history, more child profiles, exports and attachments, plus the AI features — the calmer rewrite, thread summaries and fair-swap suggestions.
Frequently asked questions
Can CoParent generate a parenting plan for me?
No. It helps you run a plan you already have. Drafting or changing a plan is a legal matter for you, the other parent and, where needed, a mediator or attorney.
How do I enter our rotation?
Add each custody block as a date range for the parent who has the children, and use Repeat weeks for blocks that recur every week. The guides walk through 2-2-3 and week-on/week-off setups.
What if we change the plan later?
Edit the calendar. Day-to-day changes are best handled as swap requests so both parents have the same record of what changed and when.
CoParent is a coordination tool for parents. It is not legal advice and does not replace a lawyer, mediator or court process.
