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.

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

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
