OurFamilyWizard was founded in 2001 and has grown to serve over one million co-parents and family law professionals across all 50 U.S. states. It holds the distinction of being recommended and, in many jurisdictions, ordered by family courts as the designated communication platform for high-conflict custody cases. The platform is accepted by courts nationwide as a source of certified communication records, making its logs admissible documentation in family law proceedings.
The platform consolidates the operational requirements of post-divorce co-parenting into a single environment: a shared custody calendar with parenting-time tracking, a secure messaging channel with read receipts and timestamps, an expense ledger with receipt upload and approval workflow, and OFWpay for direct payment between co-parents. Premium and Max plan subscribers receive unlimited VOIP calling and the ability to record and transcribe calls, which is relevant in high-conflict cases where verbal agreements are disputed. All communications are stored in certified records that can be retrieved for attorney review or court submission.
Family law attorneys recommend OurFamilyWizard both as a case management tool — because all client communication with the other party occurs on a documented, structured platform — and as an evidentiary source when clients need to demonstrate patterns of non-compliance, missed exchanges, or disputed expenses. The practitioner portal allows attorneys to monitor client accounts and retrieve records without requesting documentation from clients directly.
OurFamilyWizard's more than two decades of operation and its court-ordered status in numerous jurisdictions distinguish it from newer co-parenting apps. Its certified-record feature, which produces tamper-evident logs of all platform activity, is a function that general-purpose communication tools cannot replicate for legal purposes.
Hands-on review pending.
