How long does my co-parent have to respond to a message?

Messages will always be available through TalkingParents and will not disappear if not viewed by a particular "deadline." There is no right or wrong way to use TalkingParents. We encourage parents, lawyers, and courts to be creative and use TalkingParents however they like to fit the circumstances of each case or relationship best. If members are not court-ordered or have another agreement, parents can take as little or as much time as they want between viewing and posting messages.

We recommend you address this matter with your co-parent through our service to document your position on the issue. If you can't agree and would like to seek a court order defining a response time from each parent for new messages, we recommend you consult with an attorney or the court itself.
