Figuring out how to co-parent after a breakup, separation, or divorce<\/a> is difficult.\u00a0 When parents don\u2019t communicate well, that makes it even harder.\u00a0 On this week\u2019s #FamilyFriday article, ERA Law Group, LLC want to help parents by identifying various resources available to help them Co-Parent.<\/p>\n

Some parents find difficulty in communicating with one another.\u00a0 At times the communication is simple and other times, it is rather difficult.\u00a0 Nonetheless, both must parent their children.\u00a0 Removing face-to-face conversation is sometimes the best place to start when trying to co-parent effectively.\u00a0 The below programs and apps provide various resources for the separated and divorced parents.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Our Family Wizard<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Our Family Wizard is an online program which provides a platform for communication.\u00a0 The parents can \u201cemail\u201d back and forth, add items to a joint calendar, and, most importantly, if their dispute needs to be taken to Court, the correspondence can be tracked by the Court.\u00a0 This also serves as a means to encourage parents to speak with each other in a respectful manner and keep it about the children.\u00a0 There is an annual cost of approximately $100.00 per parent.\u00a0 This is a web-based program though there is an app for iOS and Android.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. 2Houses<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Similar to Our Family Wizard, this program offers a mutual calendar, financial tab, and photo album tab.\u00a0 It does not allow for direct communication but there is a journal function which allows parents to make notes.\u00a0 The financial tab is particularly helpful as it outlines each parents expenses and each parent can upload what expenses they have paid on behalf of the child<\/a>.\u00a0 There is no cost to this program.\u00a0 This is a web-based program though there is an app for iOS.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Kidganizer<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Like the former two programs, this is also a means for both parents to keep information related to their children in one central location.\u00a0 It does not permit the parents a platform for direct communication such as Our Family Wizard, but there is an alert system to alert each parent regarding important events like doctor appointments or parent-teacher conferences.\u00a0 This is an iOS only app program and costs $1.99.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Custody Junction<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Custody<\/a> Junction provides a Scheduling Center which allows parents to schedule their visitation\/events\/vacations, etc. up to 2 years in advance.\u00a0 It also has a Tracking Center which allows parents to track when events were created, edited, amended, what the expenses were, who was present at each event, etc.\u00a0 It gets rid of the \u201che said, she said\u201d regarding who, what, where, and when.\u00a0 Similar to 2Houses, it also has a Reporting Center which provides for accumulated expenses as well as reporting about child support<\/a> payments, denied or forfeited parenting time, etc.\u00a0 This program is only web-based and costs $47.00 per parent for a 1 year subscription.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Appclose<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            AppClose is a combination of the above 4 programs.\u00a0 It has a joint calendar, a messenger option like texting, an expense forum that acts like Venmo by requesting reimbursement from the other parent as well as the ability to track expenses, the ability to create a parenting schedule, set important reminders, and keep track of family information such as immunizations, date of births, etc.\u00a0 Much like Facebook, it also has a NewsFeed function which displays all communications, events, etc. at a glance.\u00a0\u00a0 This is a free app only program available for iOS and Android.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. SKEDi<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              This program is a family<\/a> calendar of sorts.\u00a0 It syncs your calendars so that each parent and\/or child knows everyone\u2019s schedule.\u00a0 It also has the capability of being shared with caregivers and babysitters if necessary.\u00a0 This is an iOS only app program and costs $9.99.<\/p>\n
