Parenting Path

In development — iOS and Android

A co-parenting platform for separated and divorced families, and for the attorneys and mediators who work with them.

The problem it addresses

After a separation, two people who are finding each other difficult still have to run a household together across two addresses. The handover schedule has to hold. The dentist has to get paid. Somebody has to remember what was agreed in March.

Almost all of that currently happens over text message, which is a poor instrument for it. Messages get lost, tone gets misread, and by the time anyone needs to show what was actually agreed, the evidence is scattered across two phones and a year of arguments.

What is in it

Messaging Checked for tone before sending, so the sender gets a moment to reconsider.

Shared calendar Two-way sync with Google and Apple calendars.

Expense tracking Custom splits, not only 50/50.

Organised records Integrity-verified and stored permanently.

Court order compliance Upload the order; the app tracks it against what happens.

Court-ready reports Summaries prepared in a form designed to support attorney review.

Dispute resolution Structured discussion of a disagreement without needing an attorney.

Child wellbeing Check-ins that keep the child's own experience in view.

Who it is for

Both parents, on one shared record. Separately, attorneys and mediators can be given what they need to review a case without setting up an account of their own.

It is equally built for families where the arrangement is working and simply needs organising, and for families where it is not.

How it is priced

Once per family, not once per parent — a free tier that is genuinely usable, and paid tiers for households that need the court-order tracking, reporting and dispute tools. Current prices are on the pricing page, which is the authoritative source.

Safety

Safety features are free on every plan, including the free one, and are never withheld to prompt an upgrade — one of the commitments that applies to everything we build.

Parenting Path is software. It cannot provide physical safety, and we do not claim that it can. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is available free and confidentially, 24 hours a day, at 1-800-799-7233.

Who operates it

Parenting Path is a product of First Light Softech LLP. It is not a separate company. Support, billing, privacy requests and legal notices for the app are handled at parentingpath.net, which publishes its own privacy policy, terms of service and grievance contact.
