What are your thoughts on Family Wizard?

Does anyone on here have Family Wizard? I'm curious about it, I know my sister had it when the court forced my niece to see her father for a short period but do not know much else about it. I have high hopes that perhaps it will be away to keep the drama down between dh and BM. Since our most recent drama I do not want dh to be harassed by her anymore and I'm hoping that through this channel of communication bm will be forced to keep her crazy in check. Also my sister told me that unless court ordered she does not have to use it, but I honestly don't see why she wouldn't and I want DH to change his number (since the wizard comes with an app he can still get messages right away and he can call skids from my phone- she has my number but has never messed with me personally).

What are your thoughts on Family Wizard? Is it effective in limiting the fighting (especially concerning a Golden Uterus bm)? Also it's a way that if she does release her crazy on there we can easily print out the pages to show how mentally unstable this woman really is.

Also I read that it keeps track of expenses and doctor records, which is great because BM refuses (not sure why) to provide proof of expenses paid at the doctor or for rx and she just expects us to hand over the money. When I went through CO and found she had to provide documentation I put a stop to it and told dh to ask her for proof each time and then he would pay. For some reason she freaked out over this and never provided proof and still says he doesn't pay for his kids medical bills. What is so wrong with providing proof? I don't get it.

The reason dh started asking for receipts is because we need all the deductibles we can get. There really is no reason for her not to share doctor information and to expect him not to want proof of her actually taking them to the doctor. Honestly, she never provides documentation (it's in the paperwork and says whoever takes them to the doctor is to provide proof to the other party, of course not worded that way) nor does she tell him when she is taking them to the doctor, I just don't get how he is supposed to just know.

Wow thank you! I think this will be great for them and we can't even have her knowing his phone number because she posses the maturity and restraint of a five year old so we couldn't count on her only calling him in emergencies. I think I might pitch it to her myself (via dh's phone because as far as she knows we have never communicated) because I know dh just won't. He's still has some hold ups from his marriage about not wanting to go toe to toe with her, so I usually man up for him.

Were actually looking into this right now! My husband's ex isn't violent and she doesn't email obscenities or anything like that and there are no attorneys involved but she does call and text and email my husband over 200 times a month. We just counted up all the emails and texts and voicemails and we were shocked! We may try this too but it's hard to present it to someone when there's not a big dramatic terible situation know what i mean? it's just too much.

DH would like to add it to the next CO since BM turns everything into a conflict. In the beginning it was texting wars so he limited communication to emails. That worked out for a couple of months but now she's back to her berating and fighting just via email now so we might have to go to OFW sooner than later...if we can get her to agree to it or get it mandated.
