A co-parenting app is a tool designed to help separated parents manage shared responsibilities for their children by providing features like shared calendars, secure messaging, expense tracking, and document storage. Popular co-parenting apps include Our Family Wizard and AppClose.
Attorney Michael S. Bailey recently participated in a seminar regarding co-parenting apps, which can be utilized by parents to improve their communications regarding their children.
Co-parenting apps can be utilized to communicate with the other parent in a secure place; to track and pay for the children’s expenses; to manage the children's schedules for healthcare, activities, and other events; and to provide reports in the event the parents have any conflicts requiring court intervention.
Co-parenting apps are helpful to track the truth; reduce conflict; and coordinate “team” efforts in co-parenting children.
Some co-parenting apps require a fee for their services, while some do not.
Courts can order parents to communicate exclusively through a co-parenting app in high conflict situations.
A co-parenting app may be beneficial to you as you co-parent your children.

Due to the complexity of the probate laws and the steps that must be undertaken to properly administer an estate, it is highly recommended that fiduciaries, such as executors and administrators of decedent’s estates, retain an attorney well familiar with the probate process. Retaining an attorney shall prevent costly errors and shall ensure that the fiduciary is not cited by the Probate Court for the failure to properly perform their fiduciary duties or be sued by beneficiaries of the estate due to improper estate administration errors or the improper accounting and disbursement of estate funds and assets.

The most important issue to address when a marriage is being ended is the care, custody and well-being of the minor children. All of the local Domestic Relations Courts require that the parents complete parenting education to inform the parents regarding the impact of the termination of the marriage upon the minor children, and how to address the minor children’s needs after the marriage is terminated.

If so, we can help! A guardianship may be necessary for an incompetent relative, such as a parent, if you need to assume management over their financial matters and healthcare needs. A guardianship would be necessary if the parent does not have a durable power of attorney or a durable power of attorney for healthcare.
A guardianship for a minor child may be necessary if the minor is to receive assets due to the death of a parent or for a personal injury claim.

We are often asked by clients if they are going to lose their home in a bankruptcy. We understand that clients are rightfully concerned about this issue as their home has many memories for clients and their children.
The answer is simply, “Yes, you can keep your home in a bankruptcy”. However, certain questions must be answered in the positive first
If you have a mortgage payment, are you current?
Do you have homeowner’s insurance for your home, and is your mortgage company listed as the “loss payee” on your homeowner’s insurance?
Do you have less than $182,625 for a single filer, or $365,250 for joint filers, of equity in your home? Equity is defined as the fair market value of your home minus the balance due for your mortgage?
Generally, a positive answer for those questions will result in you retaining your home.
But what if you are behind in your mortgage payments or have too much equity in your home, then not all is lost. You can still retain your home by filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
