Family law is not an area that many attorneys feel neutral about. Most people either love it or won’t touch it if given the choice. The crushing stress that most family law clients are under and the ways in which that stress manifests itself mean that family law attorneys have to approach their cases differently than other types of lawyers.

Any experienced family law attorney knows that it’s not enough simply to provide clients with legal advice and solutions. Instead, to be effective, family law attorneys need to help their clients to see the practical day-to-day and long-term implications of their legal options all while their clients are muddling through one of the toughest times in their lives. This is no easy feat.

Luckily, family law attorneys do not need to shoulder the burden alone. There are a host of resources that family law attorneys utilize to help their clients — mental health professionals, parenting coordinators, and financial advisers being among the most common.

Fortunately, technology has evolved to offer family law attorneys additional tools and resources to help them with case management and to help their clients move forward in a better way. OurFamilyWizard offers a robust co-parenting communication platform that enables parents to streamline communications, become more organized, and create a clear record of what transpires between them and their co-parents over time. Just as many parents cannot initially
see why a 3-hour right of first refusal might become onerous, many parents are unable to see why they would need to have a centralized, unalterable record of their correspondence.

However, every seasoned family law attorney knows that even the most amicable split can go off the rails suddenly and that being organized and having clear expectations around communication can never hurt. As an added benefit for family law attorneys, OurFamilyWizard not only offers family law clients a better blueprint for co-parenting but also enables family law professionals to see a clear and concise picture of co-parenting communications and to easily generate reports as needed, thereby bringing some simplification to a very complicated area of practice.

If you have any questions about OurFamilyWizard or how it can help you to better serve your
clients, please email me at [email protected].
