Sign up for a Premium or Standard Plan to access the app at no cost with a 30-day free trial. Parents who are divorced, separated, or were never legally married use TalkingParents to manage all communication regarding their children. Whether your co-parenting situation is amicable or high conflict, our cutting-edge tools make joint custody easier to navigate, while keeping interactions saved to a court-admissible Record. TalkingParents is here to help you coordinate more seamlessly, set boundaries, and focus on what matters most: your children.
Secure Messaging: Send messages that can’t be edited or deleted and easily organize them by topic. All messages and read receipts are timestamped, allowing you to see when your co-parent sent or viewed a message.
Accountable Calling: Make phone and video calls, complete with recordings and transcripts, without ever having to share your phone number. The Premium Plan gives you full access to this feature, including 120 free calling minutes monthly or 1,440 minutes annually and unlimited recordings and transcripts.
Shared Calendar: Manage custody schedules and your child’s appointments and activities all on a Shared Calendar that both parents can access. Create single events for things like doctor’s appointments and repeating events for your child’s extracurriculars and custody transition days.
Accountable Payments: Make payment requests and securely send or receive money, allowing you to keep track of all shared parenting expenses. Requests and payments are timestamped, and you can also schedule monthly recurring payments. Payments send up to six days faster with the Premium Plan.
Info Library: Share important details about the kids with customizable cards that both parents can access without having to contact each other. This feature is a great place to store frequently used information like clothing sizes, medical information, and more.
Personal Journal: Keep private notes about thoughts and interactions you want recorded for later. Whether it’s in-person discussions with your co-parent or child behavior observances, journal entries are just for you and can include up to five attachments.
Vault File Storage: Store photos, videos, and important documents. Your Vault cannot be accessed by your co-parent, but you may choose to share files with any third party by copying or emailing a link, which can be set to expire. You can also download files to your device.
Unalterable Records: All interactions within TalkingParents are stored to Unalterable Records that are trusted by legal professionals and accepted in courtrooms nationwide. Each Record includes a Digital Signature and unique 16-digit Authentication Code that verifies the Record is genuine and has not been modified in any way. PDF and Printed Records are available for Secure Messaging, Accountable Calling, Shared Calendar, Accountable Payments, Info Library, and Personal Journal. The Premium Plan includes unlimited access to PDF Records.
FAQs:
Do I have to be on the same plan as my co-parent?
No, you can communicate through TalkingParents no matter what plan your co-parent is on. We offer three different plans—Free, Standard, or Premium. (Free users do not have access to the mobile app.)
Is TalkingParents court-monitored?
No, though Unalterable Records are court-admissible and can be used as evidence in family law cases, no one monitors interactions between you and your co-parent. This is for the privacy of our users.
Can I change plans?
Yes, TalkingParents offers monthly subscriptions that make it easy to modify your plan at any time. If you don’t think your needs will change throughout the year, we also offer annual plans that include two months free.
Can my account be deleted?
No, TalkingParents does not allow the deletion of accounts once created and matched. This ensures that neither co-parent can remove an account and clear messages, call records, or other details within the service.

I love the app but hate it. It is wonderful overall when it works but there are many times that I open it 4 or 5 times in a row and it will close right after. I've tried updating the app and clearing the cache and still having issues. I will be back to rate it higher again once that changes.

Every single time there's an update to the app, the audio becomes useless. Bluetooth devices don't work half the time and there's significant delay in audio. Right now I can't log in to the app, nothing on the site about the issues. Every call there some technical issue. 5 tries to talk to my daughter and no audio with the video call! Come on this app is the only way I can talk to my daughter and now i can't do that!

App has become more and more prone to crashing for no reason. I truly to open a conversation and it just closes the app. Very frustrating. It also randomly will just log out of itself then my ex wife and I will have to text each other like hey did you get this or did the stupid app crash again. Pretty pathetic for something I pay monthly for.
