Frequently Asked Questions

Cochild is an all-in-one co-parenting platform built for separated and divorced parents in Singapore. It brings your access schedule, communication, maintenance payments, and your child's well-being into one calm, organised place. Everything is documented automatically, so there is never a dispute about what actually happened.

Parents who are separated, going through a divorce, or already divorced, and who want to raise their child with less friction. You don't need to be in conflict to benefit - plenty of amicable co-parents simply want the logistics handled in one place. And if things are difficult, Cochild is built to take the heat out of them.

Tap "Get Early Access" at the top of this page and leave your details. We're letting parents in gradually during the beta, and we'll be in touch as soon as a place opens up for you.

Cochild works best when both parents are on board - that's when shared schedules, agreed changes, and structured messaging really shine. But you can absolutely start on your own. Your schedule, your payment records, and your documentation are valid and useful from day one, and you can invite the other parent whenever they're ready.

Onboarding is straightforward: you create your profile, add your child or children, and set up your access schedule - either from your court order or from the arrangement you've agreed between yourselves. If maintenance payments are part of your arrangement, you can connect those too. From there, the app quietly keeps track of everything.

No. If you have a court order, Cochild aligns your schedule and payments to it precisely. If you have an informal agreement, the app works just as well - you simply set up the arrangement you've both agreed to. Either way, everything is logged the same careful way.

Cochild is launching in Singapore first, and we're rolling it out progressively. Parents on the early access list are the first ones in - so if you'd like to be among them, sign up now and we'll keep you posted.

We're currently in beta. A group of families is already using Cochild day to day, and we're opening up more places steadily. Early access signup is the way in.

Tap the "Get Early Access" button at the top of any page and leave your email. That's it. We review signups regularly and we'll be in touch personally when your place is ready.

Yes, that's the plan. Cochild is built in and for Singapore first, because being genuinely useful means aligning closely with the local family justice system. Other markets are on the roadmap, and we'll share more when we're ready.

Your access schedule lives in the app, matched to your court order or agreement. Pickups and drop-offs are confirmed with one tap, no-shows can be flagged as they happen, and any change to the schedule needs both parents to agree before it takes effect. Everything is logged automatically, so the record builds itself.

You message the other parent inside Cochild, much like any chat app - with one difference. Before a message is delivered, Cochild checks its tone. If a message crosses the line, the AI rewrites it into something neutral before it's sent. What needed to be said still gets said; the hurt doesn't travel with it.

Calls made through the app are recorded and transcribed, and every interaction is documented. Most parents find that simply knowing this changes the tone of conversations for the better.

You set up the agreed or court-ordered amount once, and payments run as scheduled bank transfers via PayNow. Every payment is timestamped and verified, and missed or partial payments are logged the moment they happen. The record stays accurate without anyone having to have an awkward conversation about money.

Kid Mode is your child's own safe corner of Cochild. They see their week - when they're with Mum, when they're with Dad - they can message contacts that both parents have approved, and they can share how they're feeling with a simple daily check-in.

Parents stay in control together: approved contacts and settings are managed by you both, and your child is completely shielded from anything to do with adult conflict.

LegalHub is your legal workspace inside Cochild. It tracks your court dates and deadlines, lets you search Singapore's family law statutes in plain language, and checks your documents with a simple traffic-light system before you submit them. When you need a compliance report for court - covering access, payments, or communication - it's generated in one click, ready to file.

Yes. You can keep your schedule, log handovers, track payments, and build your documentation entirely on your own - and that record is just as careful and just as useful. The shared features naturally need both parents, but one parent using Cochild well is still far better organised than two parents using nothing.

Your family's space on Cochild is private. Messages between parents are visible to the two of you; your child sees only their own safe Kid Mode view. We don't sell your data, and your family's information is never shared with anyone unless you choose to share it. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

No. Nothing leaves Cochild automatically. The app keeps a careful record so that you have it if you ever need it - but you decide if and when to generate a report, and the court sees only what you choose to submit.

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored securely, and handled in line with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act. Records in Cochild are tamper-proof - they can't be edited after the fact by either parent, which is exactly what makes them trustworthy.

No. Cochild is neutral by design. Both parents see the same information, follow the same rules, and have exactly the same tools. The app records what happens - it doesn't judge, and it doesn't favour whoever signed up first. The only side Cochild takes is the child's.
