Adding Children

Why Add Children?

Children are central to CoParentCompass. Adding them allows you to:

• Assign custody schedules per child (essential for different custody arrangements)
• Tag expenses to specific children
• Filter calendar views by child
• Enable the Children's Portal (optional)
• Generate per-child reports

Step-by-Step

1. Navigate to Settings → Family Members
2. Click "Add Child"
3. Enter the child's information:
   • First Name (required)
   • Last Name (optional — disabled for children under 13)
   • Date of Birth (optional but recommended)
   • Nickname (optional—appears in some views)
4. Click Save
5. Repeat for additional children

Notes

• Data Minimization: For privacy and COPPA compliance, we do not store last names for children under 13 years old.
• Children can have different custody schedules from each other
• You can add children at any time
• Child information (excluding private logs) is visible to both parents in Co-Parent Mode
