Managing shared child custody while minimizing conflict  

Coping with an ex-spouse after divorce is often difficult. Adding shared custody of children to the equation can further complicate an already stressful situation; for parents and children, alike. Conflicts between co-parents are most often a result of a break down in communication, misunderstandings; misrepresentations and 'forced' face-to-face confrontations. Much of this can be overcome, if not entirely eliminated, through the use of a program called ShareKids.com, specifically designed to assist with shared child custody management. Safe as on-line banking, ShareKids.com provides a secure, Internet based centralized data repository accessible only to authorized account members. The program provides the infrastructure for managing information such as mail messaging and correspondence; appointments; events and activities; school, class schedules and homework assignments; financial accounting for shared expenses and child / spousal support; medical insurance, medication schedules and prescriptions; personal contacts (address books); rules (agreements or court orders); a certified un-changeable personal diary / incident log; photo albums; color coded shared custody and visitation schedules and much more. ShareKids.com incorporates a comprehensive 'Permissions' component to individually manage each account members' information viewing and editing privileges. Many parenting coordinators, mediators, guardian ad-litems and counselors are recommending the program as it provides a means for them to easily and remotely monitor their clients' communications and correspondence. More and more family courts are ordering parents to use ShareKids as they realize the positive effect the program can have on children usually caught in the middle of conflicting parents. Evolving from educational and child care management software developed by the authors since the early 1980's, the ShareKids program continues to mature as new features are added in response to the specific requests and requirements of their clients.
