Helpful Coparent Resources
The Leading Coparenting App
BestInterest is designed to make co-parenting easier, especially for divorced parents or single parents navigating high-conflict dynamics. The key to successful co-parenting lies in fostering emotional well-being for both parents and children. Unlike other coparenting apps, BestInterest goes beyond a simple tone meter and offers an innovative Message Shield™ that helps co parents avoid unnecessary conflicts by screening out harmful language and reducing the back-and-forth.
This feature eliminates the need for learning complex techniques like the Grey Rock or JADE methods, empowering parents to communicate more effectively and maintain a healthy relationship with their ex-partner while minimizing misunderstandings.
For parents raising a child across two households, prioritizing the child’s best interests is critical. BestInterest ensures that children’s schedules, medical needs, and important issues like parenting plans or school events can be managed calmly and collaboratively, even in post-divorce situations. By helping parents foster open lines of communication and set appropriate boundaries, the app makes it easier to address challenges like joint custody arrangements or coordinating a parenting schedule. It reduces the emotional toll of hurt and anger that can often arise and promotes a cooperative relationship where both parents can focus on their child’s adjustment and well-being.
Healthy co-parenting requires consistent communication and mutual respect, but it doesn’t have to rely on a perfect relationship between parents. BestInterest bridges the gap for coparents living apart or dealing with unresolved negative feelings, helping them prioritize effective communication and achieve positive outcomes. By removing triggers and providing support and guidance through its unique features, BestInterest allows parents to create a stable family unit for their children, even when they’re no longer living together.

Court-Approved, Unalterable Records
Reliable documentation is a cornerstone of successful co-parenting, especially when navigating the challenges of a high-conflict co-parenting relationship. BestInterest’s journal feature provides divorced and separated parents with unalterable, timestamped records of key interactions, such as missed parenting schedule commitments, changes in children’s schedules, and updates regarding child care or medical needs.
This feature helps coparents focus on their children’s best interests by fostering accountability and minimizing disputes, and you can print any records you might need. Whether you’re attending parent-teacher conferences or managing school events, these records ensure that co-parenting arrangements are documented transparently and securely.
These court-approved records, accessible and printable for family court, mediation, or even consultation with a licensed therapist, offer peace of mind and clarity. By prioritizing accurate, unalterable documentation, whether you need records or not, BestInterest supports parents’ efforts to maintain appropriate boundaries and resolve conflicts amicably. This feature is particularly helpful for parents continuing to manage legal advice or custody disputes post-divorce, ensuring the well-being of children remains the primary focus.
With BestInterest, co parents have the tools to create a more cooperative relationship, even when living in two households.
Why BestInterest Stands Out Among Co-Parenting Tools
Compared to other co-parenting tools like OurFamilyWizard, Talking Parents, and AppClose, BestInterest offers a more innovative and comprehensive suite of features tailored to meet the real-world challenges of co-parenting. While these other apps often focus on a single aspect of co-parenting,
BestInterest integrates multiple functionalities—such as managing parenting schedules, documenting custody exchanges, and securely tracking expenses and payments—into one seamless platform. This all-in-one solution eliminates the need to juggle multiple apps, helping co-parents stay organized, communicate effectively, and maintain accurate parenting records in a single, secure space. If you’re already using a co-parenting app, BestInterest enhances your experience with its AI-powered tools.
Use BestInterest to review and improve your messages, gain insights on difficult interactions, and ensure that all communication stays child-focused. BestInterest’s AI works seamlessly alongside other apps, offering a unique layer of guidance and support that other platforms simply don’t provide.

Support for Separated Parents in Co-Parenting Situations
For separated parents, communication issues are often a significant hurdle. BestInterest offers message filtering, unalterable records, and a shared schedule to support co-parents through all aspects of their all-inclusive co-parenting journey. With secure storage of critical court-approved records and child care details, the app is a valuable resource for both day-to-day parenting and family law requirements.
Only One Parent Required
One of the most unique features of the BestInterest app is that it works seamlessly even if your coparent doesn’t agree to use it. They can keep using iMessage or whatever they use to send texts. Unlike traditional coparenting apps that require both parents to sign up and participate, BestInterest allows you to take control of your communication independently.
By providing you with a dedicated phone number, the app filters and moderates messages from your coparent without requiring their consent or cooperation. This means you can experience immediate relief from high-conflict interactions while maintaining a necessary line of communication for your child’s needs. Your coparent won’t even know you’re using an app—they’ll see it as a regular text exchange.
This feature is a game-changer for parents navigating difficult or high-conflict coparenting relationships. It allows you to set boundaries without waiting for your coparent to agree or participate. You can stay child-focused, reduce defensiveness, and protect yourself from inflammatory messages while still maintaining a documented communication trail. By empowering you to manage the communication on your own terms, BestInterest helps create a healthier and more peaceful dynamic, regardless of your coparent’s willingness to collaborate.
For co-parents that get along, of course, BestInterest supports two-way messaging just like other leading coparenting apps.
Keep Your Co-Parenting Journey on Track
Whether you need a reliable record of conversations or help coordinating with your co-parent, BestInterest will keep everything you need in one place. The app helps parents focus on their child’s well-being by reducing conflict and enhancing collaboration, ultimately making co-parenting easier and more manageable.
