My lawyer suggested we use one of those apps like OurFamilyWizard to handle all communication about the kids instead of texting. My ex thinks it's overkill. We get along okay but money's tight for me and these apps cost like 100 a year. Is it really necessary or can we just do texts? What do people actually use?
Totally worth it. We use OurFamilyWizard and it's been huge for coordinating schedules with my three. Everything's in writing, the kids can even see the calendar, and there's way less he-said-she-said drama.
I'd say do it, man. Having everything documented in one place saved me so much headache when scheduling conflicts came up. Plus it keeps things professional when emotions get heated.
Worth every penny if you're co-parenting with someone you don't really get along with. It keeps things professional and removes the opportunity for arguments about who said what. My lawyer recommended the same thing.
The calendar feature alone is worth it. No more texts going back and forth about pickup times and who's paying for what. Everything in one place.
Your lawyer's right on this one. It's not about being overkill, it's about protecting yourself and keeping things civil for the kids' sake. My ex came around after she saw how much easier it made things.

I use OurFamilyWizard and honestly it's been a game changer for us. Takes all the emotion out of logistics and keeps everything documented which is helpful if you ever need it. Plus the kids can see the schedule so nobody's confused about who has them when.
