The Superior Court of Los Angeles County has solidified its commitment to modernizing family law services by extending its contract with AppClose for an additional three and a half years. This decision continues a partnership that has provided a court-approved digital tool for thousands of families navigating co-parenting arrangements.

The platform, designed to reduce conflict and improve communication between separated parents, offers a secure, neutral environment for sharing schedules, exchanging messages, and managing shared expenses. Its integration with the court system provides a verifiable record of interactions, which can be crucial for legal proceedings. Officials highlight the tool's role in decreasing courtroom congestion and minimizing confrontations by facilitating clearer communication away from children.

The extension underscores the court's confidence in the platform's effectiveness and security. By continuing this initiative, Los Angeles County aims to promote more stable and amicable co-parenting relationships, ultimately prioritizing the well-being of children involved in family court matters. The program is part of a broader national shift where judiciary systems are adopting specialized technology to streamline processes and support families outside the traditional courtroom setting.
