OurFamilyWizard Launches New Co-Parenting Calls Feature Internationally

OurFamilyWizard, recognized globally as the foremost provider of co-parenting technology solutions, has announced the launch of its new Calls feature in the United Kingdom. This innovative feature facilitates documented video and audio communication between a co-parent and their child, catering to both officially scheduled indirect contact and spontaneous conversations. The introduction of the Calls feature in the UK marks the beginning of its availability in international markets, with plans for expansion to Canada, Australia, and New Zealand shortly.

Nick VanWagner, CEO of OurFamilyWizard, expressed enthusiasm about the international rollout of this feature, emphasizing the company's commitment to meeting the diverse communication needs of co-parenting families worldwide. "Our goal is to meet the unique communication needs of co-parenting families in one centralized, secure place, across all the countries we serve," VanWagner stated.

In Aotearoa, New Zealand, where OurFamilyWizard was introduced to the Family Court in 2017, it has significantly impacted co-parenting communication. Timothy McMichael, a New Zealand-based Family Dispute Resolution Provider and Chair of the Family Court Association Auckland, highlighted the transformative effect of OurFamilyWizard on facilitating communication between separating and divorcing parents. "The Calls feature will offer separating and divorcing parents the communication app they need: one that offers multiple ways to communicate and documents everything automatically," McMichael noted.

The Calls feature is particularly beneficial for maintaining connections over long distances, during midweek visits, or when safety concerns necessitate indirect contact. It supports the development of strong, healthy relationships between parents and children by ensuring consistent communication. Additionally, documenting these interactions serves as a protective measure for all parties involved.

In recognition of its innovative contributions to family law, OurFamilyWizard was awarded the Innovation of the Year Award at the Family Law Awards by LexisNexis UK in 2023. This accolade coincides with a brand refresh and enhancements to existing features such as Calendar and Expenses updates, aimed at simplifying schedule changes and managing shared co-parenting expenses more efficiently.

The acquisition of Cozi in 2022 further extends OurFamilyWizard's capabilities in assisting families with organizing and coordinating their lives seamlessly. Since its inception in 2001, OurFamilyWizard has become an indispensable resource for over one million parents and family law practitioners worldwide. The platform's comprehensive suite of tools facilitates effective management of audio and video calls, shared calendars, expenses, messaging, files, and other critical family information, thereby minimizing the likelihood of parents returning to court.

OurFamilyWizard continues to lead in providing innovative solutions for co-parenting families, ensuring that separated or divorced parents have access to a secure and centralized platform for all their communication needs. With its latest expansion into international markets and ongoing feature enhancements, OurFamilyWizard remains dedicated to supporting families through technology-driven solutions that foster successful parenting across separate homes.
