Co-parenting after separation or divorce presents unique challenges. Managing schedules, communication, and finances across two households can quickly become overwhelming, adding stress for both parents and, most importantly, children. This is where solutions like My Family Wizard App step in, offering a structured and secure platform designed to simplify co-parenting and minimize conflict.
Staying connected with your child and your co-parent shouldn’t be another source of friction. My Family Wizard app introduces a new feature to bridge distances and enhance communication – Calls.
NEW: Enhanced Connection with Co-Parenting Calls
- Stay Close, Even Apart: Missing your child is never easy. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a virtual bedtime story, the call feature allows for seamless audio and video connections, keeping you close to your child’s life even when physically separated.
- Virtual Visitation Made Simple: For long-distance co-parenting arrangements or midweek virtual visits, Calls offers a straightforward and reliable solution. Schedule virtual face-time effortlessly, ensuring consistent connection without disrupting routines.
- Automatically Documented for Clarity: Transparency is key in co-parenting. Every call detail, including date, time, and duration, is automatically documented within the app. This feature keeps all communication records consolidated in one place, alongside your messages and calendar events, providing a clear and auditable trail of interactions.
My Family Wizard app isn’t just about calls; it’s a holistic platform designed to simplify every facet of co-parenting communication.
Simplify Communication: All in One Place
- One App for Everything: Forget scattered messages across texts, emails, and various messaging apps. My Family Wizard app centralizes all your co-parenting communication in one secure and organized platform. No more frantic searching for crucial details or attachments across multiple channels.
- Track the Truth with Timestamped Messages: Misunderstandings and disputes about communication are common in co-parenting. My Family Wizard app eliminates ambiguity with first-viewed timestamps on messages. This feature provides a clear record of when messages were seen, fostering accountability and preventing arguments about whether information was received or not.
- Communicate Calmly with ToneMeter™: Emotions can run high during co-parenting communication. My Family Wizard app includes ToneMeter™, a unique feature that flags language that could be perceived as emotionally charged or potentially escalate conflict. This real-time feedback encourages mindful communication, helping you maintain a respectful and constructive tone in your interactions.
Beyond communication, coordinating schedules is a major hurdle in co-parenting. My Family Wizard app provides robust tools to manage and share parenting calendars effectively.
Coordinate Your Calendar: Stay on the Same Page
- Shared Parenting Time Schedule: Create a color-coded, shared calendar within My Family Wizard app that clearly outlines the parenting schedule, including regular custody arrangements, events, holidays, and drop-off/pick-up times. Visual clarity minimizes confusion and keeps everyone informed.
- Reliability Through Shared Visibility: When both parents operate from the same calendar, scheduling conflicts and miscommunications become significantly less frequent. The shared calendar promotes reliability and predictability, crucial for children’s stability and well-being.
- Easy Schedule Change Requests: Life happens, and schedules need adjustments. My Family Wizard app simplifies this process with an easy-to-use Schedule Change Request form. Propose changes, get approvals, and update the calendar seamlessly, all within the app, maintaining a clear record of modifications.
Managing finances transparently is another critical aspect of successful co-parenting. My Family Wizard app streamlines expense tracking and reimbursement.
Streamline Your Expenses: Clarity and Accountability
- Simplified Expense Tracking: Keep meticulous records of all co-parenting expenses and associated receipts directly within My Family Wizard app. No more spreadsheets or shoeboxes of paper receipts. The app provides a secure and organized system for financial documentation.
- Customizable Expense Categories: Tailor expense categories to your specific co-parenting agreement. Create custom categories and define percentage splits for shared expenses, ensuring accurate and transparent financial management.
- Centralized Payments with OFWpay: Simplify reimbursement and child support payments with OFWpay, an integrated payment system within My Family Wizard app. Make direct payments to your co-parent through the app or record payments made through other methods, keeping all financial transactions documented in one central location.
Capturing important moments and observations about your children is valuable for both parents and potentially for legal or therapeutic purposes. My Family Wizard app offers a digital journal feature.
Keep a Meaningful Journal: Document Key Moments
- GPS Check-In for Drop-offs and Pick-ups: Verify your presence at scheduled drop-offs and pick-ups with GPS Check-Ins. This feature provides a verifiable record of your adherence to the parenting schedule, adding an extra layer of accountability.
- Capture Memories and Observations: Document parenting moments, milestones, and important observations with photos and text entries in the Journal. This feature allows you to create a shared record of your child’s life, fostering connection and providing valuable insights over time.
Sharing essential information about your children efficiently minimizes unnecessary back-and-forth communication. My Family Wizard app includes an Info Bank for this purpose.
Share Info About Your Kids: Essential Details at Your Fingertips
- Store Vital Information Securely: Maintain a secure and shared repository of critical information about your children, including medical records, clothing sizes, school details, allergies, and more. The Info Bank ensures that both parents have easy access to essential data.
- Minimize Messaging for Basic Information: Reduce the need for constant questions and reminders by utilizing the Info Bank. Instead of messaging your co-parent for routine information, simply access the shared Info Bank, saving time and reducing communication overload.
Documentation and reporting are crucial, especially in situations involving legal proceedings or mediation. My Family Wizard app simplifies this process.
Documentation and Reports: Court-Ready Records
My Family Wizard app understands the importance of readily available documentation. The platform allows you to quickly and easily generate comprehensive reports from any app feature directly through the website. Customizable reports can be downloaded in minutes, providing court-ready documentation of communication, calendar events, expenses, and journal entries, simplifying legal processes and mediation.
Extending access to professionals involved in your co-parenting journey can be beneficial. My Family Wizard app facilitates this with Practitioner Accounts.
Grant Your Pros Access: Collaborate with Professionals
With your explicit permission, My Family Wizard app allows you to grant access to your family law professionals through Practitioner Accounts. This feature enables lawyers, mediators, parenting coordinators, guardians ad litem, and therapists to directly view app activity, assist with practical management, and efficiently download reports. This streamlined access can potentially reduce legal fees and improve collaboration among all parties involved.
My Family Wizard app recognizes that co-parenting often involves more than just two parents. The platform allows for extended family and support network involvement.
Keep Everyone on the Same Page: Extended Family Access
While primarily designed for co-parents, My Family Wizard app understands the broader family dynamic. You can add accounts for children and other individuals involved in childcare, such as grandparents or step-parents. These accounts have limited viewing permissions, ensuring they stay informed and connected within appropriate boundaries, fostering a cohesive support network for the children.
