Custody calendar
A shared custody calendar both households actually trust.
Recurring rotations, structured change requests, conflict detection, and a single source of truth — instead of two calendars that disagree.
Recurring custody schedules
Set the rotation once (50/50, 60/40, 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, week-on/week-off) and let it run. Holidays and school breaks overlay on top.
Change requests, not arguments
Need to swap a weekend? Send a request. The other parent accepts, counters, or declines — every move is logged with a timestamp.
Conflict detection
If a proposed change collides with an existing event on either parent's calendar, you see it before you send. No double-booked Tuesdays.
Per-child tagging
Tag events to specific children. Filter by child for a clean view of who's where, when.
Built for every common custody schedule
Pick a preset or build your own. Every preset is editable per holiday and per school break.
Week-on / week-off (50/50)
Seven full days at each house. Simplest rotation; works well for school-age kids and parents who live nearby.
2-2-3
Mon–Tue with Parent A, Wed–Thu with Parent B, Fri–Sun rotating. Each parent sees the child every 3 days; smaller kids do well with the shorter intervals.
2-2-5-5
Mon–Tue Parent A, Wed–Thu Parent B, then 5 days each. Predictable weekday parents (one always has Mon/Tue) with longer stretches on weekends.
3-4-4-3
Alternating long and short weeks. A 50/50 split that keeps weekends balanced across the year.
60/40 (every other weekend + one weekday)
Common for parents who don't live equidistant from school. One primary parent during the week, alternating weekends and one mid-week dinner.

Change requests, not arguments
Co-parents don't fight over the rotation — they fight over the swaps. CoParent Circle turns "can we swap this weekend" from a text-message argument into a structured request the other parent accepts, counters with another date, or declines. Every move is logged with a timestamp and ends up in the audit trail, which means the next request is about the next swap, not about what was said last Tuesday.
FAQ
Is the custody calendar in CoParent Circle free?
Yes. The shared custody calendar is included on the Free plan with recurring rotations, per-child tagging, and read access for both parents. Calendar change requests, conflict detection across both calendars, and unlimited events are on Pro.
Can both parents edit the same calendar?
Yes — both parents can add events and propose changes. Custody rotations and exchanges are change-requested rather than edited unilaterally, so the schedule of record always reflects what both parents agreed to.
Does it sync with Google Calendar or Apple Calendar?
Yes. The shared custody calendar exposes a read-only iCal feed each parent can subscribe to from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook. Updates appear in your personal calendar within minutes.
Can I see what changed?
Yes. Every change request, accept, counter, and decline is recorded with timestamp and actor. On Pro, the full audit log shows every read access too. The same record is included in the date-ranged court report export.
