TECHNOLOGY FOR YOUR DIVORCE AND CUSTODY CASE

HELPFUL APPS TO REDUCE STRESS

KIDGANIZER This app is designed for people who struggle talking face-to-face, have time constraints, or involve other caregivers in parenting decisions, such as grandparents, nannies, or babysitters. The app provides a central location where everyone can communicate, make schedules, and add notes about each child. Kidganizer comes with a simple $1.99 fee to download. TALKING PARENTS The function of Talking Parents is to help ensure that written communication isn’t edited, deleted, or altered, which means both parents will have the same verified records. The app also logs the date and time of each message and shows when the latest message was viewed. Talking Parents is a free app, though for $4.99 monthly you can remove adds, and for an additional fee, transcripts of conversations can be exported. At Compton Law, we understand that divorce and child custody proceedings are stressful events that require a clear head and thorough communication.

Co-parenting can be difficult in the best of times, but during a divorce, it may be overwhelming. In addition to going through a painful divorce and custody proceedings, parents still have to find time to continue regular parenting duties. It’s important for parents to keep communication channels open, as this helps them stay organized, ensures the kids remain cared for, and furnishes the court with information and evidence on request. It’s crucial for the best interests of the children involved that their parents continue to co-parent effectively. Although many people try to keep tasks structured through texts and emails, there are now divorce-specific apps that help make communication more manageable. OUR FAMILY WIZARD (OFW) OFW is the most popular app for divorcing or divorced couples. The app facilitates messaging and offers a slew of tools, helping parents track expenses, make reimbursements, put together schedules, and post notes. It also comes with a feature called ToneMeter, which autocorrects the tone used throughout each message sent. The app is designed to flag sentences, phrases, and words that project confrontation and anger, which can be quickly edited and modified. OFW comes with a basic subscription fee of $99 a year per parent.
