When families go through divorce or separation, communication often becomes one of the biggest challenges. Misunderstandings, lost receipts, and endless text threads can easily escalate conflict. That’s where technology can make a difference.
In this episode of the Children First Family Law podcast, Krista speaks with Heather Ruiz from TalkingParents, a co-parenting app built to keep families organized and focused on their children.
TalkingParents offers far more than messaging. Parents can use shared calendars, track expenses, and store important documents in one secure place. Its info library makes details insurance cards, medical needs, or school schedules accessible without constant back-and-forth. Recorded phone and video calls, complete with transcripts, provide reliable documentation that courts recognize as legitimate, saving families time and money during disputes.
Heather explains how the app is designed with flexibility in mind. With free and paid plans, parents can choose the level of service that fits their needs. For those facing higher conflict, the recorded communications and detailed records add a layer of protection and accountability. For parents in cooperative situations, features recurring reminders and shared information cards simply make life easier.
TalkingParents also goes beyond technology by offering free resources such as co-parenting webinars, high-conflict workshops, and expert guidance. The goal is to help parents reduce conflict, improve communication, and stay focused on what matters most—the children.
