Common questions
What's free?
The parenting plan builder (full draft mode), the shared custody calendar, unlimited messages and journal entries, up to 15 expenses, 5 court deadlines, 3 child support calculations, and 5 Companion questions a day. New accounts also get 30 days of Solo features free (exports excluded). No credit card needed.
What requires a paid plan?
Court-ready exports (your parenting plan as PDF/Word, plus your messages, journal, chronology, and case file for court), more Companion questions with fair-use limits, unlimited expenses, deadlines, and child support calculations, and Family Records all require Solo or Family. In-app expense payments are Family only.
How do in-app payments work?
On the Family plan, you can pay approved expenses right in CoreParent. The parent paying covers a 2% CoreParent fee plus card processing, so the other parent receives the full amount. Only the parent receiving money sets up a payout account (powered by Stripe, takes about 2 minutes).
Do I need a credit card to sign up?
No. Create an account and use the free tools, plus 30 days of Solo features, without entering any payment info.
