Lina only works when both parents are connected. If the other parent is hesitant, it can help to explain what Lina does in practical terms: it's a shared place for information about the child — contacts, medical details, belongings, and messages — so that neither parent has to carry everything alone. It's free to join, takes two minutes to set up, and does not require a credit card. You can share the invite link and let them look at it in their own time.
A good care agreement should cover the care pattern, place of residence, pick-up and drop-off, holiday and public holiday arrangements, cost sharing, communication between parents, travel with the child, and routines for changes and review of the agreement.
A private care agreement is based on mutual agreement between the parents. It is not legally binding in the same way as a court order, but provides structure and predictability for both parties and the child.
In Norway, Bufdir offers a free digital parenting agreement where parents fill out the agreement step by step and sign with BankID. Similar official tools exist in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland.
Lina offers an information page about what a care agreement should include, with an example and links to official resources in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland.
