While not true for every divorcing couple, many ex-spouses exist that have a difficult time co-parenting. Whether the divorce was contentious and toxic or if two parents just can not get on the same page, co-parenting can be difficult. Each parent has to keep up with changing schedules, have clear communication with each other, and try to get along throughout the entire process. Specifically, when the divorce did not go smoothly, two ex-spouses may be unable to effectively co-parent children because they cannot even be around each other.

Can Technology Help Parents Communicate After Divorce?

Technology can come in handy in many ways. This was especially true for the past two years while the world was dealing with life in a pandemic. For two parents who are struggling with clear and smooth communication with each other to co-parent, technology may be the key to making things work. There are several co-parenting apps that are designed specifically to help parents who are divorced take better care of their children in the most cohesive way.

• Our Family Wizard gives parents the ability to create their own account and then add approved users to it. This may include grandparents, children, or even family therapists. Communication between parties on an account is archived and so are court records. The app can also identify argumentative words and phrases.
• 2Houses can do many things including communication between parents, managing schedules, handling expenses associated with the children, adding helpful notes, and uploading photos. 
• Parentship uses a dashboard to provide each parent access to busy calendars, sets off reminders when appointments and engagements come up, and also has a place to store all important documentation like a child’s social security card, for example.
• DivorceWorks helps parents work on their ability to co-parent more successfully and address emotional issues. This app also provides resources for working through a divorce like support groups and journaling. There is also the ability to track schedules and make notes regarding events that are happening or upcoming.
