The co-parenting apps Maine judges have long pointed to now charge a monthly fee, and several dropped their free plans in 2026. From Portland to Bangor to the County, that adds up fast when you are already stretched. This app keeps direct co-parent text messaging free, with a clear, time-stamped, tamper-evident written record. In high-conflict cases, courts often want parents communicating in writing, and now you can do that for free while you focus on your kids.
Every message you send lives in one secure thread that is time-stamped and tamper-evident, so you build a calm, clear written record. That is the kind of organized, court-defensible history that helps in Maine family court, especially in high-conflict cases where judges often want co-parents to communicate in writing. FamilyCourtHelp.com is a self-help resource, not a law firm, and this is not legal advice. When you and the other parent work out parenting time (what Maine courts often call "Custody / Parenting Time"), a written record of what each of you agreed to keeps things clear.
Your free account also unlocks 50-state family law guides, FAQs and a glossary, a Family Court Map and flowchart, a Child Support Calculator, court forms and official links for all 50 states, and a lawyer and court reporter directory. No credit card, ever.
Getting started takes a minute. Create a free account, open the messenger, and invite your co-parent with a link. Both of you can send and read messages for free, with nothing to install to try it and no card on file. You only pay if you ever choose an optional upgrade.
Yes. Direct text messaging with your co-parent is free, with no monthly fee and no credit card. You also get 50-state family law guides, FAQs, a Family Court Map, a Child Support Calculator, and Maine court forms and official links at no cost.
No. Both parents message for $0. While the well-known paid apps now charge a monthly fee, secure co-parent text messaging here stays free, and every message is kept as a time-stamped, tamper-evident written record.
Nothing for co-parent text messaging. It is $0 with no credit card and no trial that turns into a charge. Optional upgrades exist if you ever want them, but messaging your co-parent in writing is always free.
No app is "court approved" the way an official form is, and we never claim a judge requires this one. What it gives you is a secure, time-stamped, tamper-evident record of your messages, which is the kind of clear written history family courts in Maine expect when communication is at issue.
Send them a free invite link. Because there is no fee on either side, cost is never a reason to say no, and you both share the same calm, written thread that keeps the focus on your kids.
