After a separation, every exchange can become a source of tension. CoParent offers a neutral space where both parents can organise without friction — for the children's wellbeing.

  • One single place for custody, expenses and documents.
  • A timestamped history, useful in mediation.
  • Data in Switzerland, compliant with the nFADP & GDPR.
  • Built for all 26 Swiss cantons (cantonal holidays).
CoParent dashboard: who has the children today, next handover, pending swap request and yearly custody split.
Swap requests: a pending request with its date, requester, proposed change, reason and approve or decline actions.

The reality

In Switzerland, separations are not isolated cases. And organisational difficulties come up often.

The thematic pages of the Federal Statistical Office show that Swiss family life is diverse, changing and often spread across several households. When a child lives between two homes, the real difficulty is not only emotional: it quickly becomes logistical, documentary and financial.

  • Text-message exchanges that spiral out of control
  • A calendar living in each person's head (and everyone has their own version)
  • Expenses noted on scraps of paper or an outdated Excel file
  • Documents lost at the other parent's home
  • No record in case of a dispute or mediation
The solution

A neutral, structured space that calms everyday life.

  • A shared calendar with automatic school holidays
  • Change requests approved in one click
  • Shared expenses with proof and an automatic balance
  • Documents accessible to both parents at all times
  • A complete history, exportable to PDF for a mediator

Official benchmarks in Switzerland

Figures that show the scale of the issue.

CoParent does not address a marginal problem. The data published by the FSO show that in Switzerland family configurations are many and that organising across several households is part of everyday reality.

16,123

divorces in Switzerland in 2023

The official FSO page on divorces shows 16,123 divorces recorded in Switzerland for 2023.

15,683

divorces in Switzerland in 2024

The same FSO source mentions 15,683 divorces for 2024. Not every divorce necessarily involves children, but it shows the annual volume of family reorganisations.

28%

of households have children under 25

According to the FSO page "Households and family life", private households with children under 25 represent just over a quarter of households in Switzerland.

2.18

people per household on average

Also according to the FSO, the average size of private households in Switzerland is 2.18 people, a sign of family life often split into small units.

Why these figures matter for a co-parenting tool

Behind every family reorganisation, you have to share out nights, journeys, holidays, medical appointments, expenses and important documents. That is precisely where a generic tool shows its limits: it does not document agreements, it does not structure responsibilities, and it does not keep a usable history if the relationship becomes tense.

CoParent was designed for this Swiss reality: two households, one child, decisions to clarify, and a need to keep a readable record over time.

Seen in the app

What a neutral space looks like, concretely.

No mock-ups: these are real screens of CoParent, with a demo family. Every decision leaves a readable record for both parents.

Swap requests Swap requests: a pending request with its date, requester, proposed change, reason and approve or decline actions.

Every request has a date, an author and an answer.

A swap is proposed from the calendar, the co-parent accepts or declines with a reason, and the record stays. Six months later, nobody has to dig through text messages to remember who agreed to what.

Shared expenses Expenses dashboard: monthly total, pending amounts, balance to receive and to pay, 12-month chart and split by category.

Expenses with proof, split and balance, always up to date.

Each expense carries its receipt, the child it concerns, the split and its status. The balance between the two households is calculated for you, and everything exports to PDF or CSV in one click.

Concrete examples

What actually happens in the real life of a separated family

Beyond the figures, here are situations that many separated parents in Switzerland recognise, and what changes when they are handled in one shared place.

School holidays and custody weeks

Parent A thinks they have the children for the first week of the Vaud holidays. Parent B believed the usual alternation continued. Without a shared tool, the disagreement often surfaces too late. With CoParent, cantonal holidays are visible, changes are approved and the history stays available.

Orthodontist, glasses, medical costs

An invoice arrives, the receipt circulates by message, then disappears in the thread a few weeks later. Each parent thinks they paid or reimbursed their share. In CoParent, the expense, the photo of the receipt, the share owed and the reimbursement status all stay in one place.

School and administrative documents

Medical certificate, school attestation, court ruling, agreement or official letter: as soon as a useful document is missing, everyone loses time. CoParent centralises important files so that both households can find them quickly.

Mediation, lawyer, sensitive discussion

When you have to summarise months of exchanges, screenshots and contradictory memories are no longer enough. CoParent PDF exports let you reconstruct a cleaner history of approvals, remarks, expenses and custody periods.

Why not another tool?

Google Calendar, WhatsApp, Excel… we know them.

These tools are handy day to day, but they are not built for shared custody, approvals, proof or coordination between two households.

Google Calendar

No approval of changes, no record of agreements, no per-child view. And your data goes to the US.

Not built for two households

WhatsApp / SMS

Everything gets mixed up, nothing is structured. Impossible to find an agreement 6 months later. Not admissible in mediation.

Not built for two households

Excel / Sheets

No notifications, no approvals, no attachments. Both parents don't see the same version.

CoParent

Built for co-parenting: neutral, timestamped, structured, secure, hosted in Switzerland. Every exchange is a record.

Why it reduces tension

Because a clear framework is often worth more than another discussion.

In many separations, the problem is not only knowing who is right, but knowing where to look. When the same information exists across several conversations, several calendars and several folders, the mental load rises and trust falls.

CoParent puts information back in the right place: custody in the schedule, requests in a clear workflow, expenses in a shared register, documents in a structured space. It doesn't erase disagreements, but it stops them being made worse by confusion or lost information.

In practical terms, CoParent helps you:

  • avoid duplicate versions of the same schedule;
  • clarify who requested what, when and with what answer;
  • quickly find an invoice, a PDF or a receipt;
  • prepare mediation with cleaner, more readable elements;
  • reduce repetitive discussions about basic logistics.
Who is it for?

CoParent adapts to your situation.

Whether your separation is calm, tense, recent or already settled, the need to organise stays very concrete.
