Comment: @Natiewing:, per your help request, I would suggest starting with the following (note this is not everything that may need cleaned, just a good start): 1) Remove the bullet point list of features. You can give a brief overview of what it does, but listing all the features is not encyclopedic. That is something for the company website. 2) Remove "company awards" section. Unless the awards are notable for Wikipedia (Grammy, Emmy, etc.), it is just the company bragging. Likely well-deserved, but not encyclopedic. 3) (and I will do this for you) Re-order the headings to comply with manual of style. CNMall41 (talk) 22:20, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

History
TalkingParents was initially created as a website in 2010 by Stephen Nixon, a Florida family law attorney based in Fort Walton Beach.[2] Nixon originally created the service to create unchangeable documentation of conversations between his clients and their co-parents for court evidence.[3]
In 2012, Nixon partnered with Vince Mayfield and Louis Erickson at Bit-Wizards to co-found Monitored Communications, LLC and expand TalkingParents into a scalable Software as a service application.[4] By 2021, the mobile and web app served over 550,000 users worldwide.[5]
Mayfield, the company's CEO, shared in 2025 that TalkingParents exceeded $10 million in annual recurring revenue without outside or private investments.[6]
Operation
TalkingParents is available on iOS, Android, and web browsers. Users can create an account with TalkingParents and match with their co-parent to use the service. Free accounts are offered through the web app with core feature availability. There are three paid subscription options that include mobile app access and expanded features.[7] While the TalkingParents app is in English, users can utilize any language to communicate and coordinate within it, and a user's Unalterable Records reflect the character input used in the service.[8]

The TalkingParents platform facilitates messages, calls, events, payments, and other co-parenting details.[9] Anything a user does within the service cannot be edited or deleted, and all interactions are logged in a court-admissible format.[10][11]

The National Parents Organization shared that the service offers one of the best co-parenting apps, as it provides a clear, secure way to view communication history and can be helpful for co-parents in high conflict situations.[14]
