Moments that matter

Alignment is not about the parents getting along. It is about the child seeing both of them show up — calmly, predictably, together.

At school: co-parents with their child

At school

Both parents in the same conference, hearing the same plan.

At the doctor: co-parents with their child

At the doctor

One shared record of what the child needs — no relaying, no gaps.

At graduation: co-parents with their child

At graduation

Two proud parents in the room, and a child who never had to choose.

Aligned: co-parents with their child

Aligned

A completed SA CoParents pathway the court can rely on.

How it works · Five steps

Whether a professional opens the case or a court refers it, every matter follows the same five steps.

  1. 1

    Invite

    The professional opens the case and invites each parent privately — parents never exchange codes.

  2. 2

    Assess

    Each parent completes their own assessment. Neither sees the other's answers.

  3. 3

    Align

    Align lines up the two perspectives: shared ground, differences, child-focused issues.

  4. 4

    Review

    The professional reviews, edits and certifies every section. Nothing is automatic.

  5. 5

    Respond

    Options, resources and a pathway — released only to authorised recipients, frozen and logged.

Four distinctions we never blur

Align organises two perspectives. It does not decide between them — and the report says so at every step.

Assessment ≠ finding

A self-assessment records what a parent reports. It does not establish what happened.

Difference in perspective ≠ fact determination

Two accounts can differ without either being false. This report does not resolve which is accurate.

AI summary ≠ professional opinion

AI drafts only organise wording. Every judgment in this report is the professional's, after review.

Professional report ≠ court determination

This report informs; it does not recommend custody, assess credibility, diagnose, or decide.

The longer view: how a case moves from reflection to agreement

Parent Reflection → Shared Understanding → Professional Alignment → Options & Resources → Agreement → Court Review (when needed)

Not court-ordered: the professional opens the case and invites both parents. Court-ordered: the court sends the professional an invitation to create the reports. Either way, the same five steps follow.

For court-referred cases

A separate, procedural pathway. The professional is the bridge between the court and the parents; judges receive only authorized, frozen submissions.

The SA CoParents Align model

Reflection → Comparison → Alignment → Options → Agreement

Every case follows the same child-centered methodology. The parents' individual reflections become a shared map, and the professional turns that alignment into workable agreement.

The Childat the center
  1. Reflection

    Each parent reflects privately.

  2. Comparison

    Align lines up both perspectives.

  3. Alignment

    Shared ground and differences, without blame.

  4. Options

    Neutral options and resources.

  5. Agreement

    Alignment becomes the foundation.

Reflect Individually. Understand Together. Align Around the Child. Build Agreement.

Sample Reports for Professionals

Condensed previews using fictional data. Every completed report follows the same neutral 10-page structure.

General Co-Parenting

Routines, rules, and day-to-day decisions across both homes.

Communication

How parents share information, updates, and everyday messages.

Educational Needs

School, homework, tutoring, and academic support alignment.

Available Joint Report Subjects

Choose one focused subject, or select several for a Complete Alignment Report.

Family-violence safety screening uses a separate, safety-sensitive process. Individual responses go only to the designated professional and are never exchanged between the parties.

Professional control. Parent privacy.

  • The professional creates the case and sends every invitation — parents never exchange codes.
  • Each parent reflects privately; one parent's answers are never shown to the other.
  • Safety concerns are routed only to the professional, never into an ordinary joint report.
  • The report does not decide who is right. It organizes perspectives for professional guidance.
