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, payment reminders, 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.

Download Cochild from the App Store or Google Play, then create your profile. You can set up your schedule straight away and invite the other parent whenever they're ready.

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 receipts, 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 set up reminders for them too. From there, the app quietly keeps track of everything.

No. If you have a court order, Cochild aligns your schedule and payment reminders 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 available for iPhone on the App Store and for Android on Google Play. Use the download buttons at the top of this page, or search for Cochild in your phone's store.

Cochild is a monthly subscription, charged through your Apple ID or Google Play account. Any free trial and the current price are shown in the store before you subscribe, and you can cancel at any time in your store settings.

Yes, that's the plan. Cochild is built in and for Singapore first, because being genuinely useful means fitting the way the local family justice system works. We are looking to expand into new markets, and if you are interested, please get in touch.

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.

Cochild doesn't move money. It reminds you when a payment is due, and you upload the receipt or proof of payment once it's made. Cochild reads the amount, date and payee from the receipt and keeps it with your record, so there is a clear, dated history 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 coming later. When it launches, it will be your legal workspace inside Cochild: it will track your court dates and deadlines, let you search Singapore's family law statutes in plain language, and check 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 will be generated in one click, ready to file.

Yes. You can keep your schedule, log handovers, keep your payment receipts, 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 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 it 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.

No. Cochild is an independent product built by Cochild Pte. Ltd., a Singapore social enterprise. It is not a government service, and it has not been officially endorsed or approved by any court or government agency. We are grateful for the interest and feedback we have received from professionals across the family justice and social service community, and we hope to keep working closely with them.

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.
