Direct answer
A co-parenting communication and handover plan records the channel, response times, handover routine, updates, schedule-change process and emergency contact rules parents agree.
What this document actually does
- Sets the agreed communication channel, reasonable response times and emergency contact method.
- Records handover places, times, responsibilities and what happens when someone is late.
- Creates a consistent process for school, medical and activity updates.
- Records how schedule changes and disagreements will be raised and reviewed.
- States clearly that it is a practical plan, not a parenting order.

What it does not do
Urgent safety matters, disputed parenting or situations where direct collaboration is unsafe. Claim Done prepares self-service documents from the facts and arrangements supplied; it does not represent either person or decide the outcome for them.
The process
From separate positions to agreed wording
Record the exact facts
Names, dates, values, responsibilities and arrangements come from the people involved. Missing facts are not invented.
Review and finalise
Invite the other person, agree each topic, then confirm the complete wording.
Included collaboration dashboard
Both people see the same topics—but keep separate control.
The buyer sends a secure email invitation. Each person records their own position. Either can propose exact joint wording. A topic turns green only after both accept it, and final confirmation is separate again.
The invitation does not expose the buyer’s account, payment information or private documents.
