Alberta Civil Trial Lawyers Association – Improving Outcomes for Families: How co-parenting apps can enhance client communication and ensure success
The OurFamilyWizard app (OFW) is frequently included in parenting agreements as a way to reduce litigation and improve family outcomes.
Communication problems continue to plague families in divorce and separation. While more of the correspondence is moving to e-mail and texting, from the court’s perspective, these forms of communication are often unreliable and can be easily manipulated. In turn, court dockets continue to be overloaded with custody cases coming back multiple times.
This presentation, hosted through Alberta Civil Trial Lawyers Association, will explore how tools like OurFamilyWizard can help parents manage communication, schedules, expenses, and shared information in one structured space, with the goal of reducing conflict and helping families resolve everyday co-parenting issues outside of court.
Learning Objectives:
- Familiarize all attendees with the online tools judges are ordering parents to use for communicating their shared parenting needs.
- Recognize documents that may be presented as evidence in the courtroom.
- Learn how mediators, custody evaluators, and other professionals may work with and assess family needs utilizing these tools.
