CoParentPact

CoParentPact helps remarried couples and blended families agree on the unsexy stuff early: parenting roles, money boundaries, discipline rules, schedules, in-law expectations, ex-partner communication, and household responsibilities. It guides both partners through short, structured prompts, then highlights mismatches (e.g., “bedtime rules,” “who pays for activities,” “what info gets shared with the ex”). The output is a clear, shareable “family operating agreement” with version history and check-in reminders. It’s not therapy and it won’t magically fix resentment—its value is forcing clarity and documentation before conflict escalates. Optional templates include: step-parent authority ladder, custody-calendar norms, holiday rotation expectations, and spending thresholds requiring joint approval. Couples can export a PDF for their counselor/mediator and track decisions over time as kids age and circumstances change.
