Successfully co-parenting after a divorce can seem like a constant struggle. Working with your former spouse can be an exercise in overcoming past differences, swallowing pride, and trying to compromise with someone who may have a competing personality to your own. Thankfully, modern technology is here to help. Over the years, tech developers have come to recognize the struggle co-parents can face after a divorce, although the need to communicate with each other persists. Here, we will review some of the apps co-parents might find helpful after a divorce.
Helpful Apps for Co-Parenting After Divorce
While co-parenting relationships may not always be contentious and sometimes even the most hostile of relationships can evolve towards a more amicable state, co-parenting apps can be continuously helpful in facilitating the communication and exchanges between co-parents. You may be amazed at what can be managed using these apps. These are apps designed specifically with co-parenting after divorce arrangements. Most are free or, at least, will offer you a free trial so that you can see if it is a good fit prior to purchase. Let’s take a look at some of the popular co-parenting apps and what they can do for you.
The Our Family Wizard app focuses on promoting cooperative and harmonious communication between co-parents. The app provides a platform for co-parents to message one another about child related matters. It also allows them to track expenses and manage a shared calendar of events to be aware of. Tracking parenting time can be accomplished through the app and there is even a feature to add professional accounts if the services of a mediator, therapist, or other professional is needed. Another unique feature of the Our Family Wizard App is a Tone Meter. Sometimes, we don’t realize just how salty our written language can come across to someone else. The Tone Meter looks for things like negative tones that may leave an unhelpful or unproductive impression on your co-parenting and suggests potential alternatives to head this off at the pass.
Another co-parenting app is the Coparently app. Coparently has worked to develop a comprehensive app to facilitate a productive and cooperative co-parenting relationship. From a color-coded custody calendar to a secure messaging center, Coparently’s many features may make it perfect to help you and your co-parent after a divorce. Shared expenses can be tracked and are printable from the app. You also have the option of adding a kids account if you want your kid to be able to participate in the messaging and decision-making process.
If you are co-parenting after a divorce, you may also want to check out the 2Houses co-parenting app. The app can act as a platform for organizing shared information. You can exchange information, from medical notes to school documents and everything in between, via the app. Not only does it facilitate the sharing of information, but it also keeps everything organized in one place. If you are working with a mediator, you may also find the mediator access messaging feature to be particularly helpful.
Last, but not least, the Cozi app may be a great resource for co-parenting. Cozi was not specifically designed for co-parenting purposes, but its features make it ideal for co-parents, nonetheless. You can share calendars and to-do lists. You can share photos and favorite recipes. This can help in the parenting time transitions and keep things more consistent for the kids.
