Greater London
A co-parenting app for parents in London
One calm shared calendar for two homes in London: the custody pattern you have agreed, handovers with times written down, school holidays split before the arguing starts, and shared child costs recorded in one place. Private entries only ever show to the other household as “Busy”.
Handovers in London
Two homes in London can be forty minutes apart on paper and an hour and a half in the rain. Handovers tend to be built around a station or the school gate rather than a doorstep, and a fifteen-minute delay is normal rather than a slight.
Our handover checklist covers the detail worth agreeing once: where, what time, who waits, and what happens when a train or the ring road makes someone late.
School terms and holidays
Term and inset days are set borough by borough, and academies often set their own, so two children at different London schools can break up in different weeks.
Put both schools’ dates in one calendar, then split the holidays with the holiday split planner so each break is settled weeks ahead rather than the night before.
Where a child arrangement order fits in
Family law here is the law of England and Wales, so the arrangement most parents end up talking about is a child arrangements order. Most parents never need one — a written plan you both follow does the same job day to day.
Our guide to child arrangement orders in the UK walks through mediation and the MIAM, applying on form C100, what the court weighs up, and how to run the schedule once one exists. If you already have an order, the calendar is simply where you keep it working week to week. None of this is legal advice — for that, speak to a solicitor or a mediator.
Choosing a pattern that survives a real week
Most families in London start from one of a handful of patterns and adjust it around work and school: week-on/week-off, 2-2-3 or one of the 50/50 options. If shifts are part of your week, the shift-worker page is the better starting point.
Ask other parents in London and across the UK
A quiet forum where parents ask questions and share what worked across their two households — schedules, handovers, school and shared costs. Anyone can read it. To post, start your free trial; you can do so anonymously, and nothing from your family calendar is ever shared. It is not legal advice.
