What Family Focus is
Family Focus is a co-parenting app for separated or divorced parents to coordinate care and maintain shared records. Its chronological family message thread uses server timestamps, and messages cannot be changed or removed after posting. Parents can manage a shared monthly custody calendar with color coding, notes, event updates, and change notifications. They can record child-related expenses, divide costs using custom percentages, attach receipt photos, mark items settled, and review a running balance. The app stores PDFs, images, and Word files in Court, Medical, School, or Other categories, and can export message threads, calendar ranges, expense histories, and document sets as PDFs. Attorneys, mediators, and Attorneys for the Child can receive view-only access; professionals can follow several client families from one account. Family Focus is available on Android and iOS, with a free plan and a listed Premium plan at $7.99 per month. Its FAQ separately says the app is free with no subscriptions. The maker says family data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The app does not provide legal advice or guarantee court admissibility.
