Co-parenting can be challenging, especially after separation or divorce. Juggling schedules, communication, and finances while ensuring your children’s well-being requires immense effort. OurFamilyWizard understands these complexities and offers a comprehensive app designed to streamline your co-parenting journey, reduce conflict, and ultimately, help your children thrive. This innovative platform consolidates all your co-parenting interactions into one secure, organized space, freeing up your time, emotional energy, and mental space to focus on what truly matters – your family.
Stay Connected Effortlessly with Built-In Calling
In today’s digital age, staying connected virtually is more important than ever. OurFamilyWizard introduces a new calling feature that allows you to bridge distances and strengthen bonds with your children, even when you’re physically apart.
- Virtual Visitation and Spontaneous Check-ins: Whether it’s a planned virtual visit, a midweek hello, or simply a child missing a parent’s voice, the calling feature offers seamless audio and video connections. This is particularly beneficial for long-distance co-parenting arrangements.
- Automatic Documentation for Peace of Mind: Every call detail – dates, times, and call activity – is automatically logged within the app. This ensures all communication, including calls, remains documented and easily accessible in one central location, alongside your messages, calendar entries, and expense logs. This feature is currently available for users within the United States.
Centralized Communication for Clarity and Accountability
Tired of sifting through emails, text messages, and various messaging apps to track co-parenting conversations? OurFamilyWizard simplifies communication by providing a single, secure platform for all your interactions:
- One App for Everything: Eliminate the chaos of scattered communication. OurFamilyWizard becomes your central hub, ensuring no message or crucial attachment gets lost in the shuffle.
- Truth Tracking with Timestamps: Say goodbye to “he said, she said” disputes. OurFamilyWizard’s timestamp feature records when messages are sent and first viewed, establishing a clear record of communication and accountability.
- ToneMeter™ for Constructive Dialogue: Conflict escalation can be detrimental to co-parenting relationships and children. ToneMeter™, a unique feature within OurFamilyWizard, flags language that could be perceived as emotionally charged, encouraging calmer and more constructive communication.
Coordinated Calendars for Stress-Free Scheduling
Managing a shared calendar is essential for successful co-parenting. OurFamilyWizard’s calendar tools are designed to eliminate scheduling conflicts and ensure everyone is on the same page:
- Visual Parenting Time Schedules: Create a clear, color-coded parenting time schedule (custody schedule) that encompasses events, holidays, and drop-off/pick-up times. The visual format makes it easy to understand upcoming commitments at a glance.
- Enhanced Reliability and Reduced Mix-ups: A shared, synchronized calendar minimizes misunderstandings and promotes reliability. When both parents operate from the same schedule, conflicts arising from scheduling errors become a thing of the past.
- Simplified Schedule Change Requests: Life happens, and schedules need adjustments. OurFamilyWizard streamlines the process of requesting and approving temporary schedule changes through an easy-to-use form within the app.
Streamlined Expense Management for Financial Transparency
Financial disagreements are a common source of tension in co-parenting. OurFamilyWizard offers tools to simplify expense tracking and reimbursement:
- Clear and Secure Expense Records: Maintain organized, secure records of all co-parenting expenses, complete with receipt uploads. This transparency helps build trust and reduces financial disputes.
- Customizable Expense Categories: Tailor expense categories to your specific needs and agreements, including custom percentage splits for shared costs.
- Centralized Reimbursement with OFWpay: Simplify payments with OFWpay, enabling direct in-app reimbursements to your co-parent. You can even schedule recurring payments for child support or log payments made through other methods, keeping all financial information consolidated.
Meaningful Journals and Information Sharing for Comprehensive Records
Beyond logistics, OurFamilyWizard provides features to capture important moments and share essential child-related information:
-
GPS Check-Ins for Drop-off/Pick-up Verification: Utilize GPS Check-Ins to verify your presence at scheduled drop-offs and pick-ups, adding a layer of accountability and peace of mind.
-
Journaling for Cherished Memories and Observations: Record parenting observations, milestones, and special moments with photos and text entries in the secure journal. This creates a valuable record of your co-parenting journey and your children’s growth.
-
Info Bank for Shared Child Details: Store and easily access vital information about your children, such as medical records, clothing sizes, school details, allergies, and more in the Info Bank. This eliminates repetitive information requests and ensures both parents have ready access to essential details.
Documentation and Professional Access for Legal Matters
OurFamilyWizard understands that legal processes may be part of the co-parenting journey. The app simplifies documentation and facilitates collaboration with professionals:
- Quick and Simple Documentation for Court or Mediation: Easily generate customized reports from any app feature within minutes through the website, simplifying documentation for legal proceedings or mediation.
- Practitioner Access for Enhanced Support: Grant permission to family law professionals, such as lawyers, mediators, therapists, or parenting coordinators, to access app activity through a Practitioner Account. This allows them to provide informed support, manage practical details, and efficiently download reports, potentially reducing legal fees.
Extended Family and Child Involvement for Holistic Co-Parenting
OurFamilyWizard promotes a collaborative approach by allowing you to include various individuals involved in your children’s lives:
- Include Children and Family Members: Beyond co-parents, you can add accounts for children and other individuals involved in childcare, such as grandparents or step-parents. These accounts offer limited feature access, ensuring appropriate involvement and information sharing.
