Child Custody and Co-Parenting in the Digital Age

Having trouble communicating with your ex about child custody? 

Co-parenting during a separation or after a divorce can be difficult and stressful.  To ease communication, consider using online co-parenting programs such as Our Family Wizard.

Our Family Wizard is web-based program that provides numerous features to help parents co-parent and communicate.  Features include:

From a legal standpoint, programs like Our Family Wizard can be an invaluable resource for documenting events as they occur.  Since all entries are date and time-stamped, this forum allows the Court to eliminate the “he said, she said.”  With the detailed information from the website, there is no debate as to what, when or how the parents communicated.

Another benefit to using an online co-parenting program is that parents tend to be more civil in their communications.  Just knowing that your ex’s attorney or even the Judge may read your communications is a great incentive to communicate clearly, concisely, and civilly.

While co-parenting during a separation or after a divorce is challenging under even the best of circumstances, web-based programs can be a great a solution to help simplify a complicated family situation.

If you have questions about a child custody or support issue, we’re here to help.  Schedule a confidential consultation with an experienced family law attorney.
