CLE Credit: One Standard Credit





Description: Communication problems often plague families in divorce or separation. While more of the correspondence is moving to email and texting, from the court's perspective, these forms of communication are often unreliable and easy to manipulate. In turn, court dockets are continually overloaded with custody cases coming back to court due to communication breakdowns, often with insufficient evidence.


This presentation will advise family law practitioners of communication technology ordered by the court in high-conflict custody and visitation cases. More specifically, it will explore the OurFamilyWizard app. The app is frequently included in parenting agreements as a way to reduce litigation and improve family outcomes. Learn how it can simplify co-parenting communication, prevent coercive control and streamline the work of practitioners. Practitioners will learn how to stay informed of co-parent communication using online tools. Each attendee will receive examples of agreements and court orders currently used to specify parent and practitioner use of the app as well as a full demonstration of the available features.
