Description

OurFamilyWizard makes co-parenting easier. We designed the app to help you reduce conflict, so your kids can thrive after a separation or a divorce. With our powerful and customizable tools, you can free up time, emotional energy, and mental space.

With all your digital co-parenting interactions rolled up in one secure app, you can keep everything organized and documented. Plus, you can shield your kids from adult conversations they don’t need to see.

NEW: STAY CONNECTED THROUGH CALLS

• Stay close when you’re apart

When you miss your child or they miss you, give them an audio or video call.

• Connect virtually

Calls offer an easy solution for virtual visitation, midweek visits, or long-distance co-parenting.

*Currently, the calls feature is only available to users located in the United States.

• Automatic documentation

With Calls, the details are documented: all dates, times, and in-call activity. All in the same place as your other co-parenting communications.

SIMPLIFY COMMUNICATION

• Use just one app

No more searching for messages or attachments across DMs, phone calls, texts, and emails. Just use one secure app.

• Track the truth

Once you send a message, it’s permanent. First-viewed timestamps mean no more arguing about who said what, when, or whether it was seen.

• Communicate calmly

ToneMeter™ catches language that could escalate conflict.

COORDINATE YOUR CALENDAR

• Create a parenting time schedule (or custody schedule)

The color-coded schedule shows what’s coming up, including events, holidays, and drop-offs/pick-ups.

• Encourage reliability

When everyone shares the same Calendar, mix-ups are a thing of the past.

• Schedule Change Requests

Need to make a one-time change to the schedule? Adjust the Calendar with an easy form.

STREAMLINE YOUR EXPENSES

• Simplify the math

Keep clear, secure records of your co-parenting expenses and receipts.

• Customize categories

Create new categories, with your own percentage splits.

• Centralize everything

With OFWpay, you can reimburse your co-parent in the app—and you can even make scheduled payments for child support. (Or record payments via another method.)

KEEP A MEANINGFUL JOURNAL

• Log when you arrive

Verify your presence at drop-offs and pick-ups with GPS Check-Ins.

• Capture memories

Record parenting observations and special, close moments with photos and text.

SHARE INFO ABOUT YOUR KIDS

• Store essential details

Share and view medical records, clothing sizes, school information, and more.

• Minimize messaging

No need to message your co-parent for basic stuff—just check the Info Bank.

DOCUMENTATION AND REPORTS

If you need to go to court or mediation, quick and simple documentation will make your life easier. It only takes a couple minutes on the website to customize and download a report from any app feature.

GRANT YOUR PROS ACCESS

With your permission and a Practitioner Account, your family law pro can view all app activity, help you manage the practical details, and quickly download reports—which potentially reduces your legal fees. Available for:

Lawyers

Mediators

Parenting coordinators

Guardians ad litem

Therapists

KEEP EVERYONE ON THE SAME PAGE

OurFamilyWizard helps you coordinate with your co-parent, but you can also add accounts for your kids and anyone involved in childcare. (These accounts can only view limited features.)

Almost amazing

I requested and insisted on this app in my family case. This idea behind this app and the courts intentions are great and I believe that this application helps people to have healthier communication. HOWEVER, the courts are to backed up. I know that I can not and do not care to pay my attorney to read all those petty and ongoing messages. The fact is that these can be pulled upon and used is enough. However that is just like an email or text. It would be on the individual to be pulling the data and setting it up for court. I can not expect our judge to have the available time to read these messages. Because of that I will not see justice. With that being said, I still give the app 4 stars as it is of no fault to the app.
The ONLY major problem I have with the app is there needs to be a search bar as other message services have. Thus saving time for any court clerk, attorney or individual that has to compile complete and accurate data.
PLEASE

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback! You can run keyword searches for messages when logged into your account via our website, yet I understand how this function would also be useful when using our mobile app. I’ll bring this comment to our developers as they continue to improve our app. Also, through our website, you can download PDF copies of messages or any entries in your account as needed. This lets you easily share prepare documentation or share only specific information with any appropriate party, such as your attorney. If you have any technical questions, our support team is available seven days a week by email at info@ourfamilywizard.com or by phone at (866) 755-9991.

Buggy and doesn’t notify of messages on IOS

The application doesn’t work completely, you’re not able to add any information to be able to save between parties. I made a complaint about this and they told me to use the website but I paid $150 to use the app, not the website. Last week my ex-husband messaged me three times and I got no notifications about any of the messages. I happen to open it yesterday to find the messages and checked on my notifications in my settings and everything is turned on to blast my phone if he messages me. This can create discontent within your relationship and I would not recommend it until they really take these bugs seriously. I emailed them and told them they caused problems between my ex and I and their solution was to give me a refund and cancel my account, now my ex-husband has no one to talk to on the app and I have to re-order the account and pay the full amount because they will not prorate the parts that are not useful. When I emailed them and asked them what they were going to do about the bug issues and the things that I have reported, they refuse to answer my emails. Now, since my ex-husband has already paid for his subscription, I’m stuck paying for a second subscription even though these features don’t work and I’m going to have to monitor the application several times a day to see if he’s messaging me. This is the biggest rip off going because they know that you have no choice except to have the same application as your coparent.

Thanks for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear that you've run into problems with notifications. If you haven't done so already, you may want to reset your notifications by turning your settings off and on again. You can also turn on email and text message notifications (on top of push) to get alerted via other methods.

Not worth the cost

Unfortunately you’re locked in for a year whether you end up finding it useful or not. The functions are nice in theory but few work as seamlessly as they should for a paid app with little support available. (Long response times and calling during business hours just gets you a voicemail) Parenting schedule is unable to accommodate the common once/week evening visitation. Various functions require redundant steps in order to execute, such as events. Expenses are only able to be split 50/50 or 100% so if your court order is different than that it may require extra effort and explanation in each entry.
Notifications are unspecific and unable to view detail so if you receive a notification an event has changed (ex: coparent changes pick up time on an event) you click the notification and it takes you to Home Screen so will not know what change was made.
Face ID. Fails half the time for some reason and you can’t save login info and it requires you to login anytime you navigate out of the app so be prepared to spend a lot of extra effort just logging in, compared to other apps.
I see the potential for this to be “the best coparenting app” it claims but actual use after 4 months proves more frustration than help. With how long they take to acknowledge issues and feedback I don’t have high hopes they’ll improve functionality anytime soon

Developer Response ,

Thank you for reaching out. The Parenting Schedule reflects overnight events. If you'd like to create an evening visitation schedule you'd need to create a recurring event. Tap on New Event and in the Repeats section set your schedule. You can also create custom expense categories. On the app, go to Expenses, tap the blue + icon, then tap New Category. There it'll allow you to create any percentage split you'd like. If you go to the Messages section of the app and tap the 3 bars on the top left corner you'll find your Notifications folder with all if the updates and edits submitted by your co-parent. Please feel free to reach out to us at info@ourfamilywizard.com for additional support.
