Navigating co-parenting after separation or divorce can be challenging. Juggling schedules, communication, and finances while ensuring your children’s well-being demands significant time and emotional energy. OurFamilyWizard is designed to ease these burdens. This comprehensive co-parenting app centralizes all your essential tools in one secure and user-friendly platform, helping you minimize conflict and create a more stable environment for your children to thrive.
Streamline Communication for Peaceful Co-Parenting
Effective communication is the cornerstone of successful co-parenting, yet it’s often a source of stress. OurFamilyWizard simplifies this process by consolidating all your interactions into a single, secure app. Forget sifting through scattered emails, text messages, and voicemails. With OurFamilyWizard, every message, update, and shared document is conveniently located in one place, ensuring nothing gets lost or overlooked.
This unified communication system offers unparalleled clarity and accountability. Messages are permanent and time-stamped upon being viewed, eliminating disputes about what was said or when. Furthermore, OurFamilyWizard’s ToneMeter™ feature intelligently identifies language that could potentially escalate conflict, prompting users to reconsider their word choices and fostering calmer, more constructive conversations.
Expanding on its communication features, OurFamilyWizard now includes integrated calling functionality. This allows you to connect with your child through audio or video calls directly within the app. Whether it’s for virtual visitation, a quick midweek check-in, or bridging long distances, this feature keeps you connected when physical presence isn’t possible. Crucially, all call details, including dates, times, and call activity, are automatically documented within the app, maintaining a complete record of all co-parenting communication in one secure location.
Effortless Co-Parenting Schedule and Calendar Management
Coordinating schedules between two households can quickly become complicated. OurFamilyWizard’s shared calendar simplifies parenting time arrangements, making schedule conflicts a thing of the past. The color-coded calendar clearly displays upcoming events, custody schedules, holidays, and drop-off/pick-up times, providing a clear visual overview for everyone involved.
By having a single, shared calendar, both parents are always on the same page, minimizing misunderstandings and promoting reliability. Need to adjust the schedule for a one-time event? The Schedule Change Request feature provides an easy and transparent way to propose and manage modifications, ensuring all changes are properly documented and agreed upon.
Simplify Expense Tracking and Reimbursement
Managing shared financial responsibilities is another common challenge in co-parenting. OurFamilyWizard offers dedicated tools to streamline expense tracking and reimbursement. You can easily record shared expenses, upload receipts, and categorize spending within the app, creating a clear and secure record of all financial transactions.
The app allows for customization of expense categories and the ability to set percentage splits for different types of expenses, ensuring fair and transparent financial management. For seamless reimbursement, OurFamilyWizard offers OFWpay, enabling direct in-app payments to your co-parent. You can even schedule recurring payments for child support or simply record payments made through other methods, keeping all financial information organized and accessible in one central location.
Keep Important Child Information Organized and Accessible
Beyond communication and scheduling, co-parenting involves sharing a wealth of information about your children. OurFamilyWizard’s Info Bank provides a centralized location to store and access essential details such as medical records, clothing sizes, school information, allergies, and more.
This shared information hub eliminates the need for repetitive messaging about basic details. Both parents and authorized family members can easily access the Info Bank to find the information they need, saving time and reducing unnecessary back-and-forth communication. Additionally, the Journal feature allows you to record parenting observations, milestones, and special moments with photos and text, creating a shared history and capturing precious memories. GPS Check-Ins can also be logged to verify your presence at scheduled drop-offs and pick-ups, adding an extra layer of accountability and peace of mind.
Documentation and Professional Access for Legal Matters
In situations where legal intervention or mediation is necessary, OurFamilyWizard provides invaluable documentation and reporting capabilities. Generating comprehensive reports from any app feature is quick and simple through the website, saving you significant time and effort when preparing for court or meetings with legal professionals.
Furthermore, with your permission, you can grant access to your OurFamilyWizard account to family law professionals through Practitioner Accounts. This allows lawyers, mediators, parenting coordinators, and therapists to directly view app activity, assist with managing practical details, and efficiently download reports. This streamlined access can potentially reduce legal fees and facilitate smoother collaboration between parents and professionals.
