In this episode of the Children First Family Law podcast, Krista begins a new series exploring technology tools that help separated and divorced parents co-parent more effectively. She welcomes Heather Ruiz from TalkingParents, a platform designed to simplify communication, improve organization, and reduce conflict between co-parents.
Heather shares how TalkingParents was created by a family law attorney who had firsthand experience with the struggles of co-parenting. The platform has evolved into a comprehensive solution that includes secure messaging, shared calendars, expense tracking, recorded calls, an info library for important documents, and resources for parents navigating high-conflict situations.
Krista and Heather discuss the challenges parents face with traditional communication methods, disorganized text messages, missing receipts, or misunderstandings, and how TalkingParents provides clarity, accountability, and security. Heather also explains how its features reduce litigation costs by documenting every interaction in a way that courts readily accept.
For families, attorneys, and mental health professionals, this episode offers a close look at how tech tools TalkingParents can keep the focus where it belongs—on the children.
In this episode, you will hear:
- Why using a co-parenting app reduces conflict and builds accountability
- How TalkingParents helps streamline expenses, calendars, and document storage
- Security measures that ensure records remain accurate and admissible in court
- Options for both free and paid plans to meet families’ needs
- Extra features recorded calls, transcripts, and educational resources
- How the app helps establish healthy co-parenting habits early in the process
