When parents separate, decisions about the kids can shape their lives for years.
KidSplit helps you understand those decisions, the options in front of you, and what they can mean in real life.

There is more than one path to a custody order.
The more you already agree on, the less there is to resolve. That can mean fewer conversations, less professional help, and less time and money spent getting to an agreement.

Understanding your own preferences is only part of it — it also helps to see where the other parent stands. The Parenting Plan Explorer lets you think through your preferences and, if you choose, invite the other parent to compare where you align and where you differ. It's free, and it isn't legal advice, mediation, or a way to determine the "right" arrangement — just a clearer starting point.
