Divorce Mediation

Have you ever wanted a way to communicate and manage your co-parenting issues without actually talking to
your Ex?

Two websites have solved the problem and are being used successfully by parents and legal authorities.  The parents have to sign up and pay around $100 per year to use the site. Other people that are involved in your child custody issues such as Grandparents, etc. can use the sites also.
