CoreParent
Built by co-parents who lived it

Co-parenting done right starts with a blueprint.

Build a court-ready parenting plan in minutes, from scratch or by importing the one you already have, in English or Spanish.

Then run the day-to-day (your shared calendar, expenses, and messaging) with Companion, an AI assistant that drafts the next step for you to approve, and connect with an attorney when you need one. You don't have to figure this out alone.

A home that brings you what you need, when you need it

Open CoreParent and today is already sorted: what needs you, who has the kids, and what's next. No digging through menus.

    Expenses to confirm, payments due, and requests waiting, each with a one-tap Confirm, Pay, or Remind.

  • Your day at a glance

    A greeting that tells you what's next, like your next handoff, before you go looking.

  • The week in one strip

    Whose days are whose and the next exchange, right on the home screen.

  • Quick add, one tap

    Expense, journal entry, event, Snap & File, or Piggy Bank, straight from home.

  • Calm by design

    A clean dark look by default, with light mode one tap away.

Companion: just ask, and it's handled

Type it or say it. Companion knows your plan, calendar, expenses and records, and does the busywork for you to approve.

  • Finds any record in seconds

    “Show me the kids' insurance cards”

  • Knows your parenting plan

    “Who has the kids on Thanksgiving?”

  • Adds it to the calendar

    “Add a dentist visit Tuesday at 4”

  • Splits and settles expenses

    “Split the soccer fee 50/50”

  • Drafts the message for you

    “Remind my co-parent about the $36”

  • Looks up what isn't in the app

    “What's the school's address?”

"Between the two of us, we paid well over $50,000 in attorney fees, much of it drafting and re-drafting a parenting plan. Every section in CoreParent exists because we needed it and paid someone $400/hr to write it. We built this so families have a better starting point."

Know what's actually coming.

The most stressful part of co-parenting is the unknown. Here are three things most parents wish they'd known before the process started.

Courts prioritize the child's best interests

Most states use a 'best interests of the child' standard where judges weigh many factors. A handful of states have an explicit 50/50 starting presumption; most don't. Outcomes also vary by the child's age, infants and toddlers rarely start at equal time. In most cases, a cooperative plan reaches a better outcome faster than litigation. Consult a local family law attorney to understand your state's standards.

Child support is mostly math

Every state has a statutory formula. Knowing the formula before you walk in helps you understand the baseline, not negotiate against a number you haven't verified.

Fighting costs more than settling

Cooperative co-parenting typically costs far less than contested litigation, which can run tens of thousands of dollars and take 12–18 months or more, with outcomes that are often similar. Every dollar spent on prolonged conflict is a dollar not spent on your child's future.

Note: In situations involving safety concerns, domestic violence, or substance abuse, always follow the guidance of your attorney and local support resources before pursuing cooperative arrangements.
