TalkingParents provides a variety of secure and accountable tools specifically designed to help co-parents communicate effectively. All communication within TalkingParents is recorded in our Unalterable Records. These Records are admissible in court and can be shared with lawyers or other professionals. You can order electronically certified PDF or printed Records anytime you need them. All Records include a variety of security features, which verify the Record as genuine and that it has not been modified in any way. Accountable Calling℠ lets you make phone and video calls to your co-parent without ever revealing your phone number. All calls are recorded and automatically transcribed and can be replayed or downloaded at any time. Our Secure Messaging allows co-parents to exchange messages and attachments with accountability. Messages include sent and viewed time stamps and cannot be edited or deleted once they've been shared. Additionally, if you're a parent on our Ultimate Plan, you have access to a set of intelligence tools that can analyze the tone of your message and help you rewrite it using professionally developed communication methods specifically designed to de-escalate high conflict situations. The Shared Calendar allows you to organize and coordinate events with your co-parent, perfect for custody schedules, doctor's appointments, and extracurricular activities. When you create an event, only you can edit it, and all activity is timestamped and recorded. Accountable Payments℠ lets you securely send and receive money, schedule payments, or send payment requests to your co-parent. Whether for school supplies, child support, or day care, keep shared parenting expenses organized and accounted for, all while keeping your banking information completely private. With our Info Library, you can create customizable cards to store and share frequently used information about your kids. From clothing sizes to allergies to approved babysitters, you can minimize the back and forth by keeping the details that matter at your fingertips. Vault File Storage is your private, secure storage space for pictures, videos, and any key co-parenting documents. Your co-parent cannot access your Vault. However, you can choose to share files within messages or send them to third parties such as lawyers or mediators. Finally, the Personal Journal is a place to keep private notes that will not be shared with your co-parent. Use this as a space to reflect and document interactions that happen outside the app. Journal entries can include up to five attachments and can be deleted at any time. By providing an all-in-one platform for accountable communication, TalkingParents lets you co-parent with confidence, knowing everything is organized and on the record.
