Sheryl Ellsworth, former President of the Supreme Court of California, combined her legal expertise with the technical expertise of Jonathan Verck and Eric Weiss to create the Co-Partner application.

The purpose of the application is to help separated parents to coordinate between custody arrangements, holiday scheduling and child support expenses.

The application is characterized by text messaging and artificial intelligence, and parents have direct access to professional intermediaries who can help facilitate parental decision making.

Ellsworth explained that many qualified service providers are undergoing vocational training to get used to the CoPartner platform effectively, and emphasized that specialists focus on specific, special and extrajudicial issues involving parent care and mediators help parents Making decisions that are in the best interest of the child.

Jonathan Verck said that his company contracted these professionals to provide better services through this application. This interactive platform can work with law firms, intermediaries and third-party service providers.

Verck confirmed that they began preliminary trials of this application in courts in March 2017. The results were staggering, and the judges recommended the use of Co-Porter continuously, and the parents used it more than five times.

Verck added that the number of users of the application reached five thousand users by February 2018, and contributed to the application in the development of more than two thousand different parental care plans, and resolved more than four thousand differences.

The application currently relies on twenty thousand users in total, more than 4100 of them active monthly. The application can be downloaded on Android and iOS, according to an article by the author and journalist Lydia Dishman in Fast Company.

Artificial intelligence to stop curses
The language processing system used by the application would help reduce abusive conversations and quarrels, the author said.

Eric Weiss explained that this application uses a language processor to identify curses, harsh phrases or derogatory labels.

The application monitors the language during normal conversations, sends a warning when it detects any offensive words, and if the user ignores the warning, the system will send the abusive term to a third party, such as a judge, lawyer or mediator, because individuals behave better under surveillance.

Weiss reported that this application enables parents to organize schedules of times. When one asks the other to keep the child with him, the application is concerned with coordination between them, determining the appropriate times for both parties according to the schedule of custody of each of them, which reduces stress or confusion or quarrel.

While the number of conflicts that artificial intelligence has helped solve is still inaccurate, Weiss notes that out of the 20,000 people who downloaded this application, only 3,000 had to consult a relationship specialist, meaning that the rest had solved their problems Thanks to this technique.

Provision of fees and expenses
This application costs parents a monthly fee of $ 12.99, or an annual fee of $ 119.99, which Verck considers a small sum compared to what the lawyer may ask for.

The dispute over child custody costs between $ 3,000 and $ 40,000, depending on the nature of the dispute, as well as other costs of up to $ 30 for the town clerk and some other documents to be submitted to the court, which may cost up to $ 300.

Co-Partner's anti-argument technology helped 81% of parents who used it to resolve their disputes without the need for an intermediary or specialist.

The biggest cost parents face is the impact of daycare and daily skirmishes on their children. "Many of the children of separated and divorced parents suffer from extreme stress levels, living in the midst of ongoing conflict between their parents, both inside and outside the court," he says.
