Before you ask

About these guides

Are these guides legal advice?

No. They describe arrangements many families use. Your parenting plan or court order decides what applies to you, and a family-law attorney in your state can advise on your situation.

Who writes them?

The ParentPact team, the people who build the co-parenting app. Each guide shows the date it was last updated.

Can I keep our schedule in ParentPact?

Yes. The shared calendar has built-in week on/week off, 2-2-3 and alternating-weekend rotations that one parent proposes and the other accepts, plus holiday and vacation events.
