Co-Parenting and Technology: What to Include in Your Parenting Plan

Technology can create conflict between co-parents when the parenting plan assumes cooperation, but the devices, apps, and platforms assume an intact household. Nicole Sodoma, a family law attorney, explains why digital decision-making deserves the same careful attention as custody schedules, holidays, and child support.

Things to Consider:

•  Why technology can expose gaps in a parenting plan
• Who should buy the phone and pay the cellular bill
• Screen time, app permissions, family accounts, and remote device controls
• Privacy concerns surrounding GPS and location tracking
• Why parenting plans can be either too vague or too specific
• Parents should clarify technology rules before a problem arises, rather than making children deliver messages between households.
• Parents can begin by making a list of technology-related questions and bringing it to their attorney.
