Keeping good co-parenting records
What to keep, how to keep it organized, and how to share it if you ever need to.
What's worth keeping
Messages about the children, the parenting schedule and any changes, exchange times, expenses and receipts, and school or medical notes.
Keep originals
Records are most useful when they're complete. In ParaNest, edits and unsent messages keep the original, and every export lists the versions.
Exports you can check
ParaNest PDFs carry a verification code. Anyone you share a PDF with can enter the code on the Verify page to see the export it belongs to, then check the file itself there to confirm it hasn't changed since it was made.
A note on court
Whether any record is accepted in court is up to the judge and the rules where you live. Talk to a family-law attorney about your situation.
