About

A starting place, not a product pitch

Co-parenting HQ is a free library for people who are about to share kids or already are. You can read a guide, print a checklist, or use a schedule or expense tool without creating an account.

Who it is for

People in the first week after a separation. People who have been coparenting for years and still do not have a calendar both houses trust. People whose order already names another app and who still need a private, facts-only file.

What is free

The guides, the checklists, and the standalone tools linked from /tools. You can email a checklist to yourself. We do not charge for reading this site.

How this relates to Harbor

Co-parenting HQ is built by the team behind Harbor, a coparenting app with a shared calendar, expense ledger, and private journal. This site is meant to be useful even if you never open Harbor. Harbor is the next step if both parents want the same week and the same ledger, or if you want a private file that is not a notebook.

If a court order names OurFamilyWizard, TalkingParents, or another app, use that app for whatever the order covers. Harbor does not replace a court-named channel.

Not legal advice

Nothing here is legal advice, a lawyer referral, or a substitute for counsel in your state. If you are in danger, call local emergency services. In the US you can call or text 988, or 1-800-799-7233 for the domestic violence hotline.
