Divvito has closed. Here is what to do now.

Divvito, the Australian co-parenting app, was permanently discontinued on 22 July 2026. Its website says: “The Divvito app will be permanently discontinued on 22 July 2026 as we prepare to develop and launch a new and improved co-parenting app,” and that after that date “all account data will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered” (divvito.com, read 19 September 2026). No date is given for the new app.

If you were one of its families, two things are true at once: the record you built there is gone unless you downloaded it, and your co-parenting has not stopped. This page is about what to keep, what is lost, and how to get a working shared record back in place this week.

Keep the PDFs somewhere safe, then put them beside your new record rather than in a folder you will forget. In ParenThing, the app we make, the Documents area takes PDFs and images and lets you mark each one private to you or shared with your co-parent. A mediator or lawyer you later invite can be given access to that area, and only that area, if you both agree.

Divvito says the data is gone, and we have no way to recover it either. What you still have is worth more than it feels like right now:

• Your phone’s own message history and call log, and any emails between you.
• Screenshots you took at the time, which keep their dates in your photo library.
• Bank statements and receipts for shared costs.
• School, medical and activity emails that show who did what and when.

A record that starts today and stays consistent is what family dispute resolution practitioners and courts actually read. A gap in the past is explained in one sentence; a messy present is not. Start the new record now and let it run.

1. Install ParenThing from Google Play and create your family. Set the currency to Australian dollars in the Family tab. On an iPhone, use the web app at app.parenthing.ie in the meantime; the free plan works there in full.
2. Invite your co-parent. One invite, one shared space. Neither of you pays separately; a Premium plan, if you ever want one, covers the family.
3. Rebuild the calendar from your parenting plan. Use the words your plan uses: who the children live with and spend time with, and when handovers happen. Add the children, and their own logins if they are old enough.
4. Upload what you saved. Divvito PDFs, screenshots and the important school and medical papers go into Documents, shared or private.

Two honest notes. Our parenting plan and agreement templates are written for Ireland and the UK; the record itself works the same in Australia, and the templates will follow once local practitioners have checked them. And we are a small Irish company, not a big US one: you can email support@parenthing.ie and a person answers.
