For attorneys, mediators, and parenting coordinators.
A co-parenting platform with free portal access for the professionals working with the family. Court-admissible records, family-unit pricing that doesn't add to your client's costs, and SMS Relay for the parent who won't install another app.
What CoPa does differently for your clients and for you.
Family-unit pricing means both clients are served by one subscription.
Every other major co-parenting app charges per parent. Recommending OurFamilyWizard to a client means recommending a $200-$432/year combined cost to a household already paying you. CoPa's family plan is $140/year, total, both parents covered. The inviting parent pays; the other gets full access at no charge. Easier to recommend; lower friction to adopt.
SMS Relay solves the unwilling-party problem.
Every family law professional has cases where one parent agrees to use a co-parenting app and the other refuses. Court orders can compel use, but only after a hearing — and pre-litigation, the willing parent has no way to capture a record. CoPa's SMS Relay lets the willing parent install the app while the unwilling parent keeps texting normally; both sides land on a shared, court-admissible record. $7/month add-on, opt-in, switchable.
Free portal access for you, no per-case charge.
You're listed as a third party on as many family records as your clients invite you to, with no subscription cost. We don't tier the portal. We don't charge for additional family invitations. We don't lock features behind a paid plan. The portal access is, and stays, free.
Records are built for legal review.
Every message, expense, schedule change, and Bridge Note is timestamped at the server, immutable after submission, and exportable as a PDF with cryptographic verification metadata for chain-of-custody review. Exports include the full audit trail on schedule changes, including proposals that were denied or expired.
What the attorney portal looks like.
A unified view of every client family.
Sign in once and see all your invited families on a single dashboard. Filter by client, by case status, by recent activity. No screenshot bundles, no PDFs the client emailed you, no logging into multiple accounts.
Read-only access by default.
You see what the family sees. You don't post messages, you don't edit the calendar, you don't change expenses. The portal is for review, not participation.
Selective access controls.
Family members choose which threads, calendar windows, and ledger categories you can see. Default is everything. They can scope it down if there's content they want to keep out of the legal review (typically the private journal, which is never visible to anyone else by default).
One-tap export.
Generate a PDF of any thread, date range, or category. Verification metadata included. Format designed to attach directly to filings without reformatting.
Honest comparison: CoPa vs. OurFamilyWizard.
OFW is the incumbent. We won't pretend otherwise. It's been around since 2001 and has years of court familiarity behind it. Most family law professionals have used it. If a judge in your jurisdiction is going to recognize one co-parenting app's records on sight, it's probably OFW.
What CoPa offers that OFW doesn't:
Family-unit pricing.
Both parents under one subscription, instead of $99-$216/year each.
Bridge Notes at handoffs.
Structured exchange-time updates that are themselves a record.
iCal sync.
Custody schedule readable inside Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook.
Receiver-side AI tone-assistance.
OFW's ToneMeter rewrites at the sender. CoPa's Calm Reading runs on the receiver's side.
SMS Relay.
OFW requires both parents to install. CoPa doesn't.
A modern mobile experience.
Designed mobile-first, not ported from desktop.
What OFW offers that CoPa doesn't yet:
In-app payments.
We chose to ship the expense ledger first and leave actual payments to the v2 roadmap.
Decades of court precedent.
We're earning this. Every record we generate is built to the same chain-of-custody standard, but we're new.
If you'd like our chain-of-custody documentation for your firm's records, contact us and we'll send it.
For parenting coordinators and mediators with active caseloads.
The free portal covers reviewing-attorney access. We're also planning a Practitioner Pro tier for parenting coordinators, mediators, and supervising professionals who need to actively participate in case communication, not just observe.
Practitioner Pro will include:
- Active participation in family threads, with role-tagged messages
- Decision logging on coordinator-mediated disputes
- Multi-family caseload management with workflow tools
- Caseload-level reporting and analytics
Pricing is planned at $39-49/month per practitioner. If you'd like early access or input on what Pro should include, contact us.
Get in touch.
If you'd like to recommend CoPa to clients, request portal access, or talk to us about how CoPa fits your practice, email [email protected]. We respond within one business day.
We're also happy to:
- Provide chain-of-custody documentation for your firm's review
- Walk through the portal on a 20-minute Zoom call
- Add your firm's logo to a co-branded resource for clients
- Sponsor or speak at MD/DC/VA family law CLE events
CoPa is built by Connemara Labs, a one-person studio in Maryland. The founder is technical, not legal. Product reviews involving legal opinions on records are conducted in collaboration with Maryland family law counsel.
