Frequently asked questions
What is a custody schedule app?
A custody schedule app helps separated or divorced parents plan, track, and share their parenting schedule digitally. Instead of paper calendars or confusing text threads, both parents see the same schedule on their phones — color-coded by parent, with handoff days clearly marked.
What custody schedule templates does Pairently support?
Pairently supports all common custody arrangements including 50/50 alternating weeks, 2-2-3 rotation, every-other-weekend, 3-4-4-3, and fully custom patterns. You set up the pattern once during onboarding and the app generates your custody calendar automatically.
Can I modify the custody schedule after setting it up?
Yes. You can adjust your custody schedule at any time through Settings. If you need to swap a specific day or week, you can do that too. The other parent is notified of any changes through push notifications.
How does the approval workflow work for schedule changes?
When one parent proposes a change to the schedule — such as adding an event or requesting a swap — the other parent receives a notification and can approve or decline. This keeps both parents informed and prevents unilateral changes.
Can I track what items my child needs for each handoff?
Yes. Pairently includes item tracking between homes. You can create a list of items each child needs (school supplies, sports gear, medication, etc.), mark items as packed before handoff, and the receiving parent can confirm receipt. This eliminates the 'forgot the backpack' problem.
Does Pairently work for long-distance custody arrangements?
Yes. Pairently works for any custody arrangement regardless of distance. The shared calendar, messaging, and expense tracking are especially useful for long-distance co-parenting where in-person coordination is limited. Both parents have real-time access to all schedules and updates.
