CoParent's Communication module at a glance

The Communication module of CoParent.ch is a written channel for separated parents, organised in discussion threads like a messaging app. No message and no thread can ever be deleted: they can only be archived, and stay readable as long as the household exists. It is an add-on at CHF 4.- a month, open during the trial.

Sound familiar?

“I never said that.” “Yes you did, I have the message.” A deleted text, a conversation scattered between WhatsApp and email: when tension rises, nobody can show what was actually said.

With CoParent

Every exchange lives in a thread of the household, dated and signed. No message can be erased, and each parent sees when the other has read it.

No more arguments over who said what

Without CoParent With CoParent
Tense texts, buried among everything else on the phone One thread per subject, kept apart from the rest of your life
A message gets deleted and the conversation loses its meaning No message can be deleted: the thread says what was said
“Did you see my message?”, asked three times A “Read” mark shows when the other parent has read it
Screenshots sent to the mediator The mediator joins the thread, or you export it as a PDF
How it works

A calmer conversation in three steps

  1. Open a thread

    Give it a title: summer holidays, school trip, doctor's appointment. Each subject keeps its own history.

  2. Write and attach

    Reply to a specific message by quoting it, add a photo or a PDF, and see “Read” appear, and when the other parent is typing.

  3. Archive, find, export

    Archive a closed subject for both parents, search any message, and produce a PDF report when you need one.

No message can be deleted: even archived, the thread stays readable.

Everything Communication does

Ten features to write calmly, and to be able to show it later.

Threads by subject

Open one thread per subject, with a title: holidays, school, health. New messages appear without reloading the page, on phone and computer.

Nothing is ever deleted

No message and no thread can be deleted, by anyone. An author can correct their own message for 15 minutes, and the original version is kept.

A shared archive

Archive a closed thread: it becomes read-only for every participant and stays readable as long as the household exists. A parent can reopen it.

Your professional can take part

The mediator, lawyer or guardian mandated by the family reads the threads, writes in them and can open a mediation thread. Each message is signed with their name and practice, and the family sees a permanent notice.

“Read” receipts

See when the other parent has read your message, and how many messages you have not read yet.

Search

Search every message and every thread, archives included, to find what was said and when.

Quoted reply

Reply to a specific message by quoting it, so that an answer cannot be taken out of context.

Attachments

Attach photos and PDF files to a message: a receipt, a certificate, a booking confirmation.

“Typing” indicator

You see when the other parent is writing, so that you do not talk over each other.

Instant notifications

A push notification arrives as soon as a message is written. If it is still unread after an hour, one email per thread groups the unread messages.

The Communication screens

A thread opened by the household's mediation practice, which both parents answer, marked as coming from the practice.
Searching the messages: the results highlight the word searched for, across active and archived threads.
A thread about a dental check-up: a quoted reply, the child concerned and read receipts on each message.
Communication on a phone: a thread with a quoted reply and read receipts, and the message box.
Verifiable integrity

Proof that your messages have not been altered

When there is a disagreement, having written something is not enough: you must be able to show that the thread has not changed since. CoParent therefore seals every message, without asking you to take our word for it.

A fingerprint for each message

Each message receives a digital fingerprint, computed from its content, its author and its time. Corrections and thread events, such as archiving, are sealed in the same way.

Sealed every hour, timestamped by third parties

Every hour, the new fingerprints are grouped and timestamped by certification authorities independent of CoParent. The date therefore does not rest on our word alone.

Verifiable without us

Any later change or deletion would be detectable. The PDF reports and your household's export contain proof that any expert can check with standard tools, without depending on CoParent.

Sealing strengthens the evidentiary value of your exchanges; it does not replace the judgment of whoever examines the file. A message written less than an hour ago shows as "sealing in progress" until the next seal.

PDF reports

Three PDF reports of your exchanges

Produce the record of what was said, to prepare a mediation or to attach to a file.

Thread history

Every message of a thread in order, with author, date and time, quotes, corrected messages with their original text, attachments, read receipts and archivings.

Conversations over a period

The same content for every thread that received a message between two dates of your choice, archived threads included.

Summary of exchanges

Per participant over a period: number of messages, median response time and share read within 24 hours, with no message text.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Communication

How much does Communication cost?

It is an add-on at CHF 4.- a month or CHF 40.- a year, on top of the base plan. One subscription covers both homes: the other parent pays nothing.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. During the 30-day free trial every module is open, Communication included, with no credit card. At the end you keep the add-on only if you choose to.

Can a message or a thread be deleted?

No, by no one, author included. A thread can only be archived: it becomes read-only for everyone and stays readable as long as the household exists. An author can correct their own message for 15 minutes, and the original version is kept.

What does archiving a thread do?

Archiving closes a subject for all participants at once: the thread is frozen in read-only mode, kept in the archives and still found by search. Either parent can reopen it, and every action is logged.

Can my mediator or lawyer read the messages?

Only a professional you have mandated, and only while the mandate lasts. They read the threads, write in them and can open a mediation thread. Each message carries their name and practice, a notice tells you they take part, and every access is logged for your family. Revoke the mandate and their access stops, while their messages stay in the threads.

Will I be notified of new messages?

Yes. A push notification arrives as soon as a message is written. If it is still unread after an hour, a single email groups the unread messages of the thread. You can adjust this in your notification preferences.

How can I know a message has not been altered after the fact?

Each message receives a fingerprint, sealed every hour and timestamped by certification authorities independent of CoParent. Any later change or deletion would be detectable. The PDF reports and your household's export contain proof of this sealing, which can be checked with standard tools, without having to trust CoParent. This strengthens the evidentiary value of your exchanges without guaranteeing any outcome: it is always for whoever examines the file to assess it.

Security and privacy

Messages and attachments are hosted in Switzerland and included in your household's export. Nobody outside the household can read them, except a professional you have mandated yourself.

Say it in writing, and keep it for good.

30-day trial, no credit card. Your co‑parent joins the household by invitation, in a minute.
