All co-parents should have the tools they need

We want every co-parent to have the opportunity to use OurFamilyWizard. Our tools help reduce conflict, so your children can thrive despite the difficulties of divorce. Every kid deserves a happy, healthy childhood.  

Some co-parents don’t have the financial means to purchase an annual subscription. We get it. That’s why we’ve offered fee waivers since the beginning. 

 

How to qualify and apply for a fee waiver 

If you don’t have an OurFamilyWizard account 

If you don’t have an OurFamilyWizard account already, submit your fee waiver application online. You will need supporting documentation for the reason why you qualify.  

You can qualify if you meet one of these criteria:

  1. You receive certain forms of government assistance (see full list here)

  2. You have proof of indigence or in forma pauperis

  3. You receive free legal representation

If you have paid representation, most likely you will not qualify for a fee waiver. 

In most cases, if you qualify, you’ll be approved automatically by SheerID. If your application needs to be processed manually, our team will reach out soon. 

If you need extra support in your co-parenting journey, submit your fee waiver application today.

If you do have an OurFamilyWizard account
