Whose weekend is this?
Co-parents argue over holiday schedules yearly. Kids pack for wrong houses.
1. The problem
Separated parents dispute weekends, holidays and pickups constantly. Court orders gather dust while memories differ. Kids pack wrong bags for wrong houses. Swaps happen verbally then denied. The hardest part is single shared truth. A text might agree while calendars disagree. That uncertainty makes it hard to co-parent without lawyers.
“We fight over weekends constantly with no shared truth. I need synced calendars with fair swap logs.”
2. What exists
OurFamilyWizard, Coparently and shared calendars sync custody, while many fight in texts. Full suites cost monthly per parent. A calendar might exist yet swaps stay verbal. There is little help with order-aware syncing plus fair swap logs affordably.
3. The solution
The solution could be a truth-first custody sync. It could encode court orders into living calendars. It could log swaps with both approvals. School breaks could merge automatically. The goal would be kids with calm transitions always.
