Keep messages focused on the child
Use specific subjects, one decision at a time, and language that describes the practical issue rather than assigning blame.
State what you are asking for, include the relevant date or time, and give the other parent a reasonable opportunity to respond.
Create a reliable record
Important arrangements are easier to follow when messages, requests, and supporting documents remain connected to the same topic.
If communication becomes unsafe or threatening, use Zuko’s reporting and blocking controls and seek appropriate local safety or professional support.
