American co-parenting apps are successful in India
We Parent, Our Family Wizard and Talking Parents apps gain popularity in India and become part of of the lives of couples who are in the process of consensual separation or litigious divorces, in which there are conflicts.
By showing positive results, even the courts in India have come to recognize the effectiveness of applications in handling child custody in divorce. Therefore, the parties have been guided to learn how to use the applications.
How do coparenting apps work?
The apps work based on recording information about the child, such as sharing school information, medical information, daily activities such as school banking or tutoring and photos of the child.
The idea is that the party without custody of the child has access to this important information about their children's daily lives. In the applications, it is also possible to maintain an account with the expenses shared between the parents.
An example of the use of the app happened with a restaurant owner in Mumbai, when he asked for a clause in his divorce for the ex-partner to update the app in each activity of the son so that he can follow the day to day of the child.
In the same line of recognizing the effectiveness of the app, the court in India allowed the clause to be added for the mother, with custody of the child, to update the app.
As lawyer Mrunalini Deshmukh says, co-parenting apps are still new in India. Initially, only non-residents used it, however, more and more Indians have been using the app in the Divorce processes to help raise children without worrying about documentation or contacts constants.
