CoreParent is the court-ready co-parenting app for separated and divorced families. See who has the kids today, what's coming up, and what needs you, all on one home screen. Then just ask Companion™, the assistant built into CoreParent, anything about your schedule, plan, or records. Build a complete parenting plan, calculate child support, and keep your shared calendar, expenses, and messages organized and documented, all in one place, in English or Spanish. WORKS SOLO OR TOGETHER Every tool works with or without your co-parent on the app. Build your plan, keep your records, and stay court-ready on your own, and connect your co-parent whenever they're ready. Most of us land here in the hardest year of our lives, staring at paperwork that costs five figures in attorney time. CoreParent gives you the tools to get organized and ready to file, then review with your attorney, for a fraction of the cost. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Build a court-ready parenting plan step by step, covering the sections family courts expect, or import an existing plan or court order and we will rebuild it for you. - Calculate child support using your state's guidelines, all 50 states. - Share a custody calendar with holiday and vacation scheduling. - Snap a photo of any flyer, schedule, or PDF and let Companion turn it into calendar events and expenses, no retyping. - Track and settle shared child expenses; payments go directly between parents. - Message your co-parent with a built-in tone check that helps keep things civil. - Keep a private journal and a secure vault for the documents that matter. - Check in at handoffs with a time and location stamp, and log a missed exchange in one tap. - Import past custody from your iPhone calendar, up to 10 years back. - Send PDFs and documents from your vault right in Messages. - Face ID lock, quick exit, and a discreet lock screen. - Connect with a family-law attorney when you need one. MEET COMPANION Ask in plain words, by typing, by voice, or with "Hey Siri, ask CoreParent": - "Who has the kids on Thanksgiving?" - "Can I take the kids to Florida July 3 to 12?" Companion checks it against your plan. - "Find the insurance card," then share it in one tap. - "Message my attorney about this," and get a draft to review. Answers come from your own records, with one-tap cards to call, share, add to your calendar, or log an expense. When there are a few ways forward, just tap the one you want. Companion also watches for the things that trip co-parents up and drafts the next step for you to approve: a kinder rewrite before you send, a text turned into a logged request, or the document you need before an appointment. You are always in control; Companion never sends anything on its own. IN YOUR LANGUAGE The entire app, and the court-ready plan you export, works in English and Spanish. PLANS AND PRICING Build your plan for free. Go Solo to export and unlock everything, with or without a connected co-parent: $39 every 3 months, or $129 per year.
