Family – Private Child Arrangements
Many practitioners routinely recommend the OurFamilyWizard parenting app to their clients. OurFamilyWizard is a co-parenting communication app for divorced or separated families and their legal and mental health professionals. OurFamilyWizard provides a safe and neutral environment for communication, in a monitored format, where key issues about the children can be resolved.
The platform assists parents with the practical aspects of co-parenting; communication, managing the current child arrangements, sharing important family information, and keeping a record of shared expenses. It can be used via a mobile app or on a web browser.
Written communication can be easily misinterpreted, so ToneMeterTM can be included in the annual subscription. Like an emotional spellcheck, this feature provides feedback on the tone of the messages as they are drafted. It can help parents to be mindful of what they are saying before they press send.
Family law professionals can be granted free access to oversee activity and download information.
We have included a letter mentioning the app in the Getting the matter underway folder of the Private Child Arrangements guide. We have also added a clause for orders called Form content – Co-parenting app order.
We hope that practitioners will find these useful. Comments and suggestions are always welcomed.
