Testimonials

OurFamilyWizard is a fundamental part of the intervention we provide in our high conflict therapeutic programmes. It allows us the kind of critical real-time monitoring to access and identify key problem areas needing psychological input and coaching, so as to develop mutual respect and integrity in the context of parents' painful history of conflict. It is the best way for mental health practitioners to intervene with on-going issues as they happen, before they become too entrenched, using more sensible win-win communication styles for co-parenting, showing how much more easily matters can be resolved. 

Clients feel reassured that we are able to witness what their ex is writing and become keen to reveal themselves as decent people.  It is a marvellous feedback loop enabling client change, in the way Ralph Waldo Emerson so wonderfully put it, “treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be.” Getting parents to use OurFamilyWizard also means that at the end of our programmes, we are able to leave them with a tool they can then carry on using and take forward themselves to sustain any changes made. Highly recommended.

I have read the messages between the mediation clients and it is amazing! They had a bit of a meltdown at the time of the lockdown and this didn’t surprise me because they are highly conflicted parents. However, they have worked it out for themselves and they are now having the most polite and courteous conversations I have ever known them to have! I am stunned and hugely relieved. I hope to use this as an example for other parents in mediation. It has been a very valuable exercise for me, the parents and most of all for the lovely 4-year-old child

OurFamilyWizard is a proven communication tool for divorced or separated parents. In my opinion, the programme can be a valuable resource to help parents manage child arrangements, organise family information and set them on an amicable path forward.

Tools on OurFamilyWizard encourage clear, concise and evidence-based communication between parents. Practitioners will be interested in the ToneMeter (notwithstanding its American spelling) tool because it encourages respectful communication. The time modification request tool, which is evidence of real-time compliance or changes to contact arrangements, has worked often in the US and warrants usage here.

I'm aware the software has been a conduit in encouraging sensible outcomes at trial where it has been commended by some judges. As we explore all opportunities to use digital facilities to bring about workable solutions in family relationship difficulties, OurFamilyWizard can be a major help to families across the UK and abroad avoid and reduce conflict, and I expect to see the programme continue to grow in popularity.

OurFamilyWizard is a tremendous resource for parents. It helps them manage child arrangements and communicate within one secure platform. I would recommend this program to any family looking for a better way to stay organised.

Thank goodness for OurFamilyWizard, a marvellous tool that can help limit bad communication and encourage, through the use of its various tools, more productive dialogue between parents.

The family justice system has been crying out for a tool or device that can encourage cooperative parenting, and OurFamilyWizard perfectly fits the bill, so much so that the courts can now order its use as a contact activity.

I have recommended its use to many couples. I am pleased to say that the vast majority have found it an invaluable tool to both improve communication and share information about their children in an orderly manner.

Family courts should be making directions that all communications between separated parents should be done through OurFamilyWizard. It is a brilliant tool for separated families!

I have seen OurFamilyWizard draft orders firsthand, and I am impressed! I understand that they have a good relationship with both courts and judges and, as a result, are being court-ordered with increasing regularity.

As a member of Resolution and working with parents involved in disputes regarding child arrangements on a daily basis, upon learning about OurFamilyWizard, I immediately believed it would prove extremely useful within my practice. 

OurFamilyWizard has been well received by our local CAFCASS and local authority, and I make a point to provide all Counsel instructed by me with an OFW leaflet. Courts in North Yorkshire County have also made orders/recitals in which parents are required to use OFW for their communication. The feedback I have received from clients has been very positive.

In my view, the programme itself is unique and likely to prove invaluable to clients, particularly those involved in protracted Court proceedings.

OurFamilyWizard hugely helps parents who have difficulties communicating and enables their lawyers to focus on sorting the bigger picture!

I can’t say enough good things about this app and website!! Me and the mother of my children have been separated since our sons were 1 yrs old and before getting this app we had a lot of challenges communicating on major topics. This app saved us and always made this clear and simplistic. 5 Star ⭐️
