I have a student who's parents are divorced, but both are actively involved. Dad pays, mom keeps up with schedule. They both need to be able to access the child in the parent portal, but I can only link one parent to the child for parent portal access. I should be able to link the child with two different parent accounts so that each parent can create his/her own parent poratl account.
I agree that there should be the ability to put in two official parents instead of one. This way both parents are given equal importance in the portal instead of relegating one to contacts.
FYI, you can give any contact their own portal login from their summary page.
