Co-parenting apps are used to help parents to manage the challenges of co-parenting with less conflict and lower potential for excessive, angry or abusive messages upsetting each other.
Our Family Wizard is one of the leading Co-Parenting Apps but there are many others.
Some are generic and designed to help busy families with children who have lots of extracurricular activities to coordinate, and others are specialists built for those who are co-parenting after separation and divorce.
