Whether you're new to Splitime or have been using it for months, this guide covers every feature designed to make co-parenting smoother, more organized, and less stressful.

Getting the Most Out of Splitime: A Complete Feature Guide for Co-Parents

Splitime was built around a simple premise: co-parenting is hard enough without the tools being hard too. Every feature in the app exists to reduce friction, create accountability, and give both parents a clear, shared view of what's happening with their children.

Shared Calendar

The shared calendar is the operational center of co-parenting logistics. Both parents see the same calendar in real time, eliminating the most common logistics disputes.

Best practices:

Enter the full custody schedule at the start of each month or school term
Log all school events, medical appointments, and activity schedules as they're confirmed
Use calendar events to request schedule changes — so there's a visible, timestamped record
Set reminders on upcoming exchanges so neither parent is caught off-guard

The calendar history is searchable and exportable. If you ever need to demonstrate the pattern of custody exchanges for a court proceeding, this record is directly usable evidence.

Expense Tracking

Co-parenting finances are a persistent source of conflict when managed informally. Splitime's expense tracker gives both parents visibility into shared costs and creates a clear record of what was spent and what was agreed.

How to use it well:

Log expenses as they happen, not at the end of the month
Attach receipts for significant expenses
Note the agreed split at the time of logging, not retroactively
Review the outstanding balance weekly and settle on a regular schedule

Messaging

Splitime's messaging system is designed for co-parenting communication — structured, child-focused, and documented. Every message is timestamped and archived.

Using it effectively:

Keep each message focused on one topic
Respond within 24 hours to non-urgent messages
Write with the knowledge that this record may be reviewed by a third party

Voice Support

If you have a question about how to use a feature or need Splitime-specific guidance, the voice support feature connects you with an AI support agent. Hold the microphone button, speak your question, release — and get a spoken response. Available anytime, trained on Splitime features and co-parenting guidance.

Getting the Most From the Platform

The co-parents who get the most out of Splitime use it consistently — not just when there's a problem. They keep information current and treat the record they're building as a long-term asset.

The platform is most valuable not at the moment of a dispute, but in the months and years of consistent, documented, professional co-parenting that make disputes less frequent and easier to resolve.
