Smoother co-parenting for you and your kids is just steps away

Getting started is simple. Create your account, match with your co-parent, and start co-parenting with confidence. Access the mobile app and every feature for only $7/month with Essentials, or upgrade to Enhanced or Ultimate for top-tier support and an automatic 30-day free trial.

Create your account

To get started, you'll need to verify your email address, enter your basic information, and verify your mobile phone number.

Enter and verify your email address

You will receive an email containing a 4 digit code. Enter this code when prompted.

Enter your basic information

Input your first and last name, create a password for your account, and select your time zone. Your message, calendar, and record timestamps will be displayed in the time zone you select.

Setup additional security

Enter and verify your mobile phone number to enable multi-factor authentication. A 6-digit code will be sent via text message. This step must be completed to enjoy all our features.

Match with your co-parent

To use TalkingParents, you must match your account with your co-parent's account. We provide two easy options to choose from.

If you have a Match ID from your co-parent

If your co-parent has already signed up, they can send you a unique 6-character Match ID to match you to their account. Enter it when prompted.

Match without contacting your co-parent

If you do not have your co-parent's Match ID or contact information or do not wish to contact your co-parent, you can enter your co-parent's first and last name, along with the first name and birthdate of your oldest child in common. You and your co-parent must enter your child's information identically to ensure a proper match.

Still not matched? Send your co-parent an invitation

If you and your co-parent still haven't matched, you can send them an invitation through text, email, or a unique Match ID.

Send them a text

You can send an invitation to your co-parent's mobile phone number via text message. With this option, your co-parent will receive a link to create an account along with your unique 6-character Match ID.

Send them an email

You can send an invitation to your co-parent's email address. With this option, your co-parent will receive a link to create an account along with your unique 6-character Match ID.

No mobile phone number or email address?

Copy the Match ID and send it to your co-parent through another form of communication. This option can be used by co-parents who only communicate through a third-party.

“It's just great for organization and streamlines everything. It's simple to use, easy to find what I'm looking for, and it's all in one app so it's not taking over my life all the time." —Caroline Kelley, Real Co-Parent
