Court recommended we use an app to communicate instead of texting. Things got pretty heated between me and my ex so having everything documented is probably smart. Looking at OurFamilyWizard and Talking Parents. Anyone use either of these? Worth the money or am I better off just using email?
Court ordered us to use Talking Parents. Takes some getting used to but it forces you to keep things civil when everything's in writing and timestamped. Hard to go off the rails when it's all there on record.
The app thing helped us so much. When emotions run high you can take an hour before responding instead of firing back immediately. Might seem like a small thing but it made a huge difference in how we co-parent.
Good call on the app. When emotions are running high, having that buffer between texts makes a real difference. I've been there and honestly it forced me to communicate better for the kids' sake.
OurFamilyWizard is what we had to use after things got rough too. The documentation piece actually helped me in the long run because everything was there in writing. Definitely keeps things professional when you know it's all being recorded.
Smart move having the court involved. The app creates a record which honestly helps both parents stay professional. Things do get heated in text.
We use Our Family Wizard and it's honestly changed everything. Keeps everything documented, neutral tone, and we both know exactly what's been discussed. Way better than the text wars we used to have.
Good call using the app. Keeps everything documented and way less emotionally charged than text threads going back and forth. Which app did you end up with? My custody situation requires this too.

That's the right approach. Takes the emotion out of logistics. Makes it easier to focus on what matters, which is making decisions that work for the kids.
