Question 1

Can I switch from TalkingParents mid-case?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most families switch between court dates. You can export your TalkingParents message history as a PDF and store it in CommonGround as a reference document, then start fresh with a timestamped record on our platform.

Question 2

Is CommonGround admissible in court?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every message, schedule change, exchange, and payment is timestamped and cryptographically verified. Court-ready PDF exports include a SHA-256 integrity hash so attorneys and judges can confirm the record has not been altered.

Question 3

What about TalkingParents document storage?

Accepted Answer

CommonGround includes unlimited document storage in every plan. You can upload court orders, medical records, and school forms, organize them by child, and share them with your co-parent or attorney from one place.

Question 4

Do I lose my message history when I switch?

Accepted Answer

No. Your TalkingParents history stays on their platform and can be exported as a PDF for court. CommonGround starts a clean, separately admissible record from day one — most attorneys prefer this clean break.

Question 5

Is pricing really flat?

Accepted Answer

Yes. $17.99 per month covers both parents, every child, unlimited messages, GPS handoffs, KidSpace, and court exports. No per-child fees, no per-parent fees, no add-on fees for standard features.
