Solo Mode: You Don’t Need Your Ex’s Approval to Use BestInterest

In high-conflict or strained co-parenting relationships, getting mutual agreement on using a co-parenting app can feel like an impossible task. Fortunately, with BestInterest, you don’t need your coparent’s approval or participation to start using the app. BestInterest is designed to function independently, providing you with tools for better co-parenting communication and emotional peace, even if your coparent isn’t on board.

Let’s explore why this feature is beneficial, who might benefit most, and how you can access it.

Why Independent Access is Key for High-Conflict Situations

In many co-parenting situations—especially high-conflict relationships or where there’s a lack of cooperation—waiting for both parents to agree to use a co-parenting app can mean missing out on tools that would make the coparenting journey easier. BestInterest eliminates this roadblock, allowing you to take advantage of coparenting communication tools right away.

By using BestInterest independently, you can begin setting boundaries around when and how often you receive messages. The app’s AI-powered tools also filter and neutralize emotionally charged language, keeping conversations focused on the child and preventing unnecessary escalation. This makes it possible for you to stay calm and responsive, without needing your coparent’s agreement to do so.

BestInterest’s solution is the only coparenting app that offers this level of co-parenting boundaries setting and effective co-parenting communication. Our Family Wizard, AppClose, and all other coparenting apps require both coparents to sign up and pay to use them. BestInterest only needs one coparent to download for it to start helping.

Who Might Benefit Most from Using BestInterest Independently?

BestInterest’s independent access feature (Solo Mode) is ideal for:

Parents in High-Conflict Coparenting Situations

If communication is often volatile or stressful, BestInterest can filter incoming messages, removing toxic or harmful language and keeping exchanges calm and constructive. With or without your coparent, you can achieve better co-parenting communication.

Co-parents Seeking a Solution For Parallel Parenting

Research has shown that parallel parenting reduces conflict in challenging coparenting relationships. BestInterest enables parallel parenting by automatically keeping communication simple and to the point.

Those Managing Communication with a Narcissistic or High-Conflict Ex

In cases where one coparent tends to be confrontational, non-cooperative, or even abusive, the ability to manage communication alone can be a lifesaver. BestInterest lets you filter incoming messages to avoid emotional triggers and keep conversations productive. You can also use the coparent journal feature to keep track of offline interactions for use in court if needed.

Parents Seeking Peace of Mind in Child-Centered Communication

Even if your coparent isn’t actively creating conflict, inconsistent communication or lack of follow-through can create challenges. BestInterest’s tools can help you organize your side of the conversation, maintain a clear record, and set healthy co-parenting boundaries that promote a calm environment for everyone.

How to Access the Solo Use Feature in BestInterest

3. Set Your Notification Preferences
   Choose how often you’d like to receive notifications from your coparent, whether it’s immediately, daily, weekly, or only for emergencies. BestInterest gives you complete control over your communication boundaries.
4. Give Your Coparent Your New Phone Number
   The BestInterest app will assign you with a second phone number which you can provide to your coparent. All communication should go through this number, and it is safe to block them your ex on all other channels.
5. Begin Using the Coparent Coach and Message Filter
   Use the Coparent Coach for real-time advice on responding constructively, and let the AI filter review incoming messages. This way, you only see what’s necessary for effective coparenting communication.

How Does BestInterest Compare to Other Coparenting Apps?

When it comes to coparenting apps like Our Family Wizard, TalkingParents, and AppClose, all three require both parents to subscribe and pay for the service in order for the app’s features to be fully accessible. If your coparent isn’t willing to join or cooperate, you may be left without essential tools that could help reduce conflict and support better co-parenting communication.

Additionally, Our Family Wizard, TalkingParents, and AppClose typically require a court order to be put into use if one parent isn’t voluntarily participating. Securing a court order is not only costly but can also be a lengthy process, delaying the support you may urgently need. Is this an intentional decision on their part? No, these apps are simply missing this innovative feature. Unlike other coparenting apps, BestInterest allows you to start immediately, without needing your coparent’s approval or a court order, making it accessible and effective right away.

Creating a Peaceful Environment for You and Your Child

If you’re reading this, you’re a parent who cares about the experience of your child. That’s why BestInterest is more than just a coparenting messaging app; it’s a full coparent support system designed to help you navigate co-parenting challenges independently so that your children thrive. With the freedom to use BestInterest without coparent approval, you can start working toward a more peaceful and structured co-parenting experience immediately, giving you and your child the stability and focus you deserve.
