Kidtime Counseling

The co-parenting app for counselors and coaches

You hear about the fortnight after it happened, filtered through whoever is in the room. Kidtime gives your clients somewhere to record it as it happens — and lets them share that record with you, read-only, whenever they want you to see it.

Free for counselors — trusted by 25,000+ co-parents

Sessions that start from what happened

Your client’s household lives in one shared app. When they connect you, you read the same record they do — not a folder of screenshots chosen after the fact. View-only, visible to them, revocable by them.

What actually happened between sessions

Exchanges, swaps, and missed handoffs recorded as they occur — so the fortnight you're hearing about arrives as a record rather than a reconstruction.

Messages and recorded calls

Co-parent communication stays in the app, timestamped and unedited, with transcripts for calls. The exchange your client describes is the one you can actually read.

Notes and documentation

Incident notes attached to real dates, so patterns show up as a timeline instead of a memory that shifts with how the week went.

Tracked expenses

Shared costs logged and split as they happen — one of the most reliable flashpoints, defused before it reaches your room.

A parenting plan your clients can actually work through

Most parents are handed a blank template and told to write a legal document about their own children. Kidtime interviews them in plain language instead — schedules, holidays, decision-making, communication — and writes each court-ready section as they answer.

  • Clients draft between sessions, so the plan becomes something concrete to discuss
  • The hard clauses surface early, while there's still time to work on them
  • Built from what co-parents most often wish they had agreed in writing
  • The finished plan exports as a court-ready PDF

When Jordan asks to swap a weekend, how do you handle it now?
We just text. But the time never comes back.

6.Changes to Parenting Time

Either parent can ask to swap a weekend. If Alex and Jordan agree, the parent who gave up time picks a makeup day within 30 days. If they can’t agree, the regular schedule stands.

And a record that holds up if things escalate

Some of the families you work with will end up in front of a court, and none of them know which ones in advance. Because the record is built as life happens, it’s already there — exportable as a timestamped, court-ready PDF by your client, on their terms.

How it works

1

Create your free counselor account

Self-serve signup on the web — no client required to start, nothing to install.

2

Invite the clients who want you to see it

Each client gets a single-use invite code. They set up their own calendar and you're connected automatically — view-only, visible to them, revocable by them at any time.

3

Work from what the record shows

Sessions start from what happened rather than from who remembers it better — and the schedule keeps working as the family's real calendar after your work together ends.

Counselor FAQs

What can a counselor see in Kidtime?

Only what your client connects you to, and only in read-only form: their shared custody calendar, message history, recorded-call transcripts, expense records, and notes. You can't edit, delete, or message. Your client can see that you're connected and can remove your access at any time.

Is Kidtime free for counselors and co-parenting coaches?

Yes. The counselor account, the client dashboard, and client invites are free. Your clients use the Kidtime co-parenting app on their own accounts.

Does this work if I only see one of the parents?

Yes, and that's the common case. A single parent can invite you from their own account. You'll see the shared record their household is part of — which is one parent's vantage point on a two-parent app, not a neutral adjudication. Kidtime doesn't ask you to be a neutral, and doesn't tell the other parent anything about your work.

Can my clients build a parenting plan?

Yes. Kidtime's parenting plan builder walks co-parents through plain-language questions — schedules, holidays, decision-making, communication — and turns their answers into a court-ready draft. Clients often draft between sessions, which turns the plan itself into something you can work through together instead of an abstraction.

How is this different from asking clients to bring screenshots?

Screenshots arrive curated, undated, and one-sided. A connected record arrives timestamped and complete for the period your client shares — and it keeps updating between appointments without anyone having to remember to send it.
