Certified messaging, custody calendar, and expense tracking. Every message is sealed, timestamped, and exportable as a court-ready record that cannot be edited or deleted — by anyone.
ParentDocket keeps communication civil, documented, and verifiable — so weekend text wars become a clean, factual record.
Messages are sealed into a tamper-evident hash chain the instant they're sent. Each carries its own authentication code. No edits. No deletions. No "I never said that."
One tap produces a court-ready PDF: every message, timestamp, and authentication code, plus an integrity certification recomputed from the full record at export time.
Schedules, overrides, swap requests, and check-ins — with a full change log, so every agreed change is documented with who asked and who approved.
Log expenses with receipts, split automatically, accept or dispute with a paper trail, and settle up — every step recorded.
Optional AI review flags hostile wording before you hit send — because everything you write here may be read aloud in court someday.
Upload your custody order and ParentDocket reads it and builds your calendar — exchanges, holidays, and all.
Most apps say "court-friendly." ParentDocket shows its work.

No. One subscription covers both parents. Your co-parent joins free with a link code — full access, no second subscription, ever.
Admissibility is always the court's decision, but ParentDocket is built to make that decision easy: messages are sealed into a SHA-256 hash chain at send time, the record is append-only at the database level, and every Certified Export re-verifies the entire chain and prints per-message authentication codes both sides can independently reference.
No. The record is append-only — enforced in the database itself, not just hidden in the interface. Neither parent, nor ParentDocket support, can change a sent message.
Your messages are still sealed, timestamped, and exportable as a certified record. Many parents start solo and invite their co-parent later — joining is free, so cost is never their excuse.
Create your account, start your 14-day free trial, and send your co-parent a link code. You'll both be on one documented record in under five minutes.
