A Circle of Trust is a concept within Kiido to organize your co-parenting household. A Circle of Trust (CoT) gets created when you create a new user in Kiido. Besides that you can be invited to other Circles of Trust as a co-parent, family member, or a service provider (like a therapist, lawyer, babysitter).

Kiido is meant for separated and divorced couples to be better co-parents.

The My Account section is only accessible to you, as is most of the information you enter there. Your account and contact information, status, login credentials, and notification settings are only visible to you. Information about children, their activities/events on the calendar that the other co-parent has been added to is visible to them.

Check-Ins allow you to document your precise location in a particular moment. Check-ins allow you to create a GPS-verified log of your presence at important locations, and they only allow you to share a location within 500 feet from your actual location at that time. In order to make sure that the shared location you selected is within 500 feet, the app needs to access your location at the time you create this entry. You can also keep notes and upload photos during a Check-In. This tool is perfect for confirming parenting time exchanges and verifying your presence at other important events.

Yes, Mediation is definitely possible on video - to be done remotely. It is, in fact, entirely possible to envisage mediation at a distance, by videoconference or audio telephone. Of course, the framework must remain identical to that of face-to-face mediation, especially as regards the confidentiality of exchanges. This more flexible approach is highly effective and often yields excellent results. It may be suitable for people who wish to avoid having to travel (geographical distance, professional constraints, atypical lifestyle, expatriate families, transport difficulties, etc.) or who do not wish to be physically in the presence of the other person, but are aware that a dialogue is necessary. Jointly exercising parental authority, reaching agreements and bringing peace to the parents' relationship are just some of the reasons why family mediation can naturally be set up. What's more, in certain situations, it's preferable to set up mediation at a distance, with the help of an experienced family mediator, rather than doing nothing at all to ease the family conflict! Distance doesn't prevent communication, nor the bond. In fact, it can even help you to step back and deal with your emotions.
