Improving Outcomes for Families — How co-parenting apps can prevent families from returning to court and keep them on track for success.

The OurFamilyWizard app (OFW) is frequently included in parenting agreements as a way to reduce litigation and improve family outcomes. Learn how OFW can simplify co-parenting communication, prevent coercive control, and streamline the work of practitioners. This training will also include our new updates and information regarding our new Calls feature.

Communication problems plague families in divorce or separation. While more of the correspondence is moving to email and texting, from the court's perspective, these forms of communication are often unreliable and easy to manipulate. In turn, court dockets are continually overloaded with custody cases coming back to court due to communication breakdowns, often with insufficient evidence. This presentation will advise family law practitioners of communication technology ordered by the court in high-conflict custody and visitation cases. Practitioners will learn how to stay informed of co-parent communication using online tools. Each attendee will receive examples of agreements and court orders currently used to specify parent and practitioner use of OFW, as well as a full demonstration of the available features on OFW.
