Post-separation co-parenting apps: Can they help families avoid conflict?

该项目旨在研究智能手机应用程序在支持家庭应对分居后共同养育子女的诸多挑战方面的作用和有效性。在日益数字化的环境中，糟糕的应用程序选择可能会对家庭产生严重后果，父母和家庭法从业人员迫切需要这些知识。该项目旨在全面了解数字离婚应用程序的好处和风险。预期成果包括第一个基于网络的决策工具，以帮助分居父母就管理分居后的沟通作出重要决定。这将带来巨大的好处，包括减少父母冲突的风险，为儿童带来更好的结果。

This project aims to examine the role and effectiveness of smartphone apps in supporting families to respond to the many challenges of post-separation co-parenting. In an increasingly digital landscape where poor app choices can have serious consequences for families, this knowledge is urgently needed by parents and family law practitioners. This project expects to deliver a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and risks of digital divorce apps. Expected outcomes include the first web-based decision-making tool to help separated parents make important decisions about managing post-separation communication. This should provide significant benefits, including a reduced risk of parental conflict and better outcomes for children.
