Find common ground before anyone escalates
Miscommunication and assumptions start many co-parent arguments. One parent hears an attack; the other thought they were making a request. ChildFirst helps each parent explain what they mean, then turns common ground into a practical agreement.
Start for your kidsWho it is for
- Parents who keep arguing about the same thing
- Parents who want to stay out of court but cannot agree alone
- Parents ready to try a short trial agreement
What you get
- An issue builder: name the issue, center the child need, gather facts, set the next step
- A two-parent bridge where each parent explains their own meaning
- Mediation Mode, which turns common ground into a trial agreement
- Shared agreements both parents can sign
- An invite link for the other parent
- Help coordinating a human mediator if you still cannot settle
How it works
- 1Build the issue. Turn a messy argument into one clear issue centered on the child.
- 2Bridge the meaning. Each parent says what they actually meant, and assumptions get checked instead of feared.
- 3Agree and sign. Write terms you could both accept, try them, and sign them together.
ChildFirst does not decide which parent is right. Where there may be abuse, threats or coercive control, it will not push anyone to "just work it out."
