CoParent Circle

Court-ordered parents

Ordered to use CoParent Circle? Here's what to expect.

A judge, magistrate or parenting coordinator asked you and your co-parent to communicate here. This page explains plainly what that means, what is recorded, who can see it, and what it costs.

What being ordered here means

It means

  • Co-parenting messages, schedules, exchanges and shared expenses happen in one place.
  • Both parents use the same rules. Neither of you gets extra control over the record.
  • If your case needs it later, you can export what happened as a dated PDF.

It does not mean

  • CoParent Circle is not on either parent's side, and it does not report to the court on its own.
  • We do not decide custody, judge behavior, or give legal advice.
  • No one tracks your location. Location is shared only after you tap "I'm on my way" for an exchange, and only until you arrive.

How the record works

  1. 1Sent messages cannot be edited. A removed message is hidden from view, but the original is kept for court exports.
  2. 2Each message is time-stamped with delivery and read status.
  3. 3Call recordings can't be deleted by either parent. Recording happens only when everyone on the call has agreed.
  4. 4Your court order stays as uploaded. Agreements or changes are added as separate records, never written over the order.
  5. 5Exports carry a document fingerprint so a third party can check the file wasn't altered.

Who can see what

Shared with your co-parent

  • Messages you send each other
  • The shared calendar, exchanges and expense requests
  • Documents you choose to share

Private to you

  • Your journal entries
  • Tone Coach suggestions before you send
  • Your billing and payment details
  • Attorneys, GALs and other professionals see only what you invite them to, and you can revoke access

What it costs

  • Each parent has their own plan. Pro is $19.99 a month per parent.
  • With a verified court order, Pro drops 30% to $13.99 a month per parent. One verification covers both households.
  • One parent can pay for both through Pro Household if you both agree.
  • Can't afford it? You can apply for a fee waiver. Waivers are personal and subject to approval.
