Frequently Asked Questions

CoPa is a co-parenting app for divorced or separated parents. It gives you a neutral place to manage custody schedules, communicate about your children, track shared expenses, and store important documents. The goal is less conflict and more focus on your kids.

CoPa supports common custody patterns like 2-2-5-5, 3-4-4-3, alternating weeks, and fully custom schedules. Both parents see the same calendar from their own perspective. You can request schedule changes, which the other parent approves or declines. Every change is logged with a full audit trail. You can also subscribe to your custody calendar from any calendar app using our ICS feed.

Calm Reading is an optional feature that presents a neutral rewrite of messages you receive. It keeps all the important details (dates, names, amounts, specific requests) while removing inflammatory language. The original message is always one tap away and remains the legal record. Calm Reading only affects messages you receive; your own words are never altered.

CoPa uses family-unit pricing: one subscription covers both parents. The parent who starts the family pays $14/month or $140/year, and the invited co-parent gets full access at no extra cost. There's no separate charge per user or per child.

Yes. Once sent, a message cannot be edited or deleted by anyone, including CoPa. Every message is a permanent, timestamped record that both parents and courts can trust.

Yes. CoPa includes a Legal Portal where attorneys and law firms can be invited to view case-related data for your family. Portal users have their own secure login and can only see families they've been granted access to, so sharing records with your legal team doesn't require screenshots or manual exports.

Your data is protected with industry-standard security. Private journal entries are never visible to the other parent. You can export your journal as a PDF to share with an attorney or therapist on your own terms. Shared data like messages, expenses, and schedules is visible to both parents, but private features stay private.

CoPa is launching on Android first. iOS is in active development and will follow. Your data syncs across devices in real time.

Either parent can propose a schedule change for specific dates. The other parent receives a notification and can approve or decline. Every request and response is logged with timestamps in an append-only audit trail. Approved changes automatically update the custody calendar for both parents.

A Bridge Note is a structured transition note sent by the parent handing off custody. It uses quick-tap fields for sleep, mood, and food, plus age-adaptive fields that change as your child grows: diaper, feeding, and naps for infants; toileting for preschoolers; homework and screen time for school-age kids. There are also fields for hygiene, activity, medication, bedtime, and optional health and free-text notes. Once submitted, it can't be changed. It gives the receiving parent context about how the kids are doing without needing a phone call or doorstep conversation.

Yes. Messages, expenses, schedule changes, and Bridge Notes are all timestamped and permanent. You can export records for legal proceedings, and your attorney can access data directly through the Legal Portal. Exports always contain the original messages, never Calm Reading versions.
