There’s a lot of adjusting to do when co-parenting after a divorce or separation. One of the hardest parts, for both you and your child, is simply being away from each other when they’re with your co-parent. Audio and video calls can help you stay close when you’re apart, or even help you grow closer.
A video chat can’t fully replace time spent together in person, but it can help you maintain a regular point of connection. This type of direct or indirect contact can even be written into your child arrangement order, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be. Many parents find ways to touch base with their children remotely on the days they’re not together in person.
OurFamilyWizard, a co-parenting app, is designed for communication between co-parents. But their new feature, Calls, was also designed to connect co-parents and their kids through video or audio calling. Calls are safe, secure, and automatically documented.

At Children 1st Family Mediation we help parents to navigate their way towards a better approach to co-parenting and improving their communication and co-operation. Tools like our family wizard can be especially helpful for separated parents where scheduling is important around the school calendar and holiday calendar as well as Christmas and special events, when there is little communication between parents and to help regulate what you communicate about.
We offer Family Mediation online across England and Wales.
