Myths About OurFamilyWizard - the Calendar

There has always been some skepticism about the OurFamilyWizard website® and the benefits that it’s online tools bring to co-parents. It is always common in competitive industries for myths and rumors to form about the participants. We are never surprised when we hear myths about OurFamilyWizard, but we would like to convey to co-parents everywhere that they are just that, myths. This article will serve to clear up some misconceptions about the OurFamilyWizard Calendar that we have been encountering for years.

The OurFamilyWizard Calendar is a truly innovative custody calendar

The OurFamilyWizard Calendar is just one tool out of OurFamilyWizard’s arsenal for co-parents. It is full of beneficial features for co-parents, but many people often buy into the myth that it’s just your run of the mill calendar application. This idea is wrong. The OurFamilyWizard website® has tailored this calendar application specifically for co-parents; to meet all of the needs of co-parents that weren’t being met through other calendar applications. It has everything that free online calendar applications, such as Google Calendar, are lacking.

One way in which the OurFamilyWizard Calendar differs from free calendar applications such as Google Calendar is that it is fully integrated into other OurFamilyWizard tools as well. For instance, the Calendar tools works very nicely with the OurFamilyWizard Message Board by alerting co-parents and family members when a scheduling conflict has occurred, when someone has created a new event, and so on. The OurFamilyWizard Calendar allows co-parents to get their scheduling done in half the time it would take using other online calendars.

Setting up and managing your custody schedule is easy with the OurFamilyWizard Calendar

One of the great benefits of the OurFamilyWizard set of tools for co-parents is that they are all very easy to use. The OurFamilyWizard Calendar is no different. It is designed to specifically meet the scheduling and organizational needs of co-parents.

Setting up a parenting schedule based on your original custody agreement is easy. With the OurFamilyWizard Calendar co-parents can easily create a repeating custody schedule by using the color-coded scheduling feature. Using their templates, you can quickly assign custody and have it projected well into the future.

Scheduling events is easy and co-parents can be very detailed and thorough by adding pick-up and drop-off times, responsible parties, patterns of recurrence and more. The calendar will even notify you of scheduling conflicts.

Another unique feature that the Calendar allows for is trades between co-parents. Throughout your co-parenting life there is no doubt that scheduling conflicts may arise where you just cannot honor your custody schedule. In cases such as these the best thing to do is to request a custody trade from your co-parent. The OurFamilyWizard Calendar makes this process easy and simple. If a conflict arises you are able to make the request online. After the request is made your co-parent has the option of accepting the trade request or denying the request and specifying a reason.

One of the biggest differences between the Our Family Wizard website and other tools available is the reporting abilities available in the site.  It is extremly easy to generate a clean print out of the calendar or trades with no need to worry about formating issues.  Additionally, all of the entries on the site can be supported with a business declaration to ensure that admissability is not an issue.

NOTE: Many state and federal laws use terms like ‘custody’ when referring to arrangements regarding parenting time and decision-making for a child. While this has been the case for many years, these are not the only terms currently used to refer to these topics.

Today, many family law practitioners and even laws within certain states use terms such as ‘parenting arrangements’ or ‘parenting responsibility,’ among others, when referring to matters surrounding legal and physical child custody. You will find these terms as well as custody used on the OurFamilyWizard website.
