Facilitating Healthy Communication During Divorce and Custody Cases
How to communicate with your spouse or soon-to-be spouse either before, during dependency, or even after a case is finalized. Communications play a big part in what the court looks at in deciding issues such as custody and visitation. The courts look to see if there’s one parent who’s going to better facilitate a relationship with the other parent. Communications is often a very effective way to make those determinations.
Utilizing Parenting Apps
In more modern days, the court has asked parties to utilize certain systems with the age of technology that has come out. There are multiple parenting apps that we are seeing parents use, and these parenting apps can be very important. One of the ways that they’re very important is they have the ability to use a calendar system. Both parties have the ability to go in and document certain items, events that their kids have, medical appointments, things like that. They also have what we call temperature controls.
Choosing the Right Communication Tool
If you’re writing a text message or you’re sending a message through the app system, and it’s a very heated exchange, the app actually has the ability to go back through your text and make recommendations as to what you should change. Again, judges love to see parents effectively communicating, love to see that those communications are tempered in the nature of what they’re sending, what you’re sending to your spouse or ex-spouse. There are several out there that I would encourage you to look at. Our Family Wizard is one, Talking Parents is another.
