Kidtime Counseling
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
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.
Exchanges, swaps, and missed handoffs recorded as they occur — so the fortnight you're hearing about arrives as a record rather than a reconstruction.
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.
Incident notes attached to real dates, so patterns show up as a timeline instead of a memory that shifts with how the week went.
Shared costs logged and split as they happen — one of the most reliable flashpoints, defused before it reaches your room.
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.
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.
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.
Self-serve signup on the web — no client required to start, nothing to install.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. The counselor account, the client dashboard, and client invites are free. Your clients use the Kidtime co-parenting app on their own accounts.
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.
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.
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.
Free to start — invite the clients who want you to see it.
