As divorce mediators, we often find that divorcing parents have trouble communicating with each other. Parenting conversations and decision-making can lead to arguments or stress which in turn take an emotional toll on both the parents and the children.

At Westfield Mediation, LLC, we explain to our clients that parenting is a lifelong commitment. So, it is best for you and your kids to have tools to make it work effectively. Moreover, children's needs change over time, and flexibility is key.
To this end, we have recommended to some clients that they use Our Family Wizard. Through their website, ourfamilywizard.com and apps, parents can create joint family calendars that include parenting time, and family events. In addition, they offer ways to track the expenses for the children. Other potentially useful sites include uptoparents.org which provides co-parenting advice and resources, and talkingparents.com which allows divorcing parents to keep track of their communications. When divorcing parents find ways to communicate effectively - and without bickering, they improve their family dynamic and the well-being of their children.
