As a child, Jainarain Kissoon was constantly surrounded by the issue of divorce–just not in the conventional sense, reports Entrepreneur.
His mother was a divorce attorney, so the topic came up often. Still, it wasn’t until his mother’s cousin suffered through a painful divorce that something clicked for Kissoon.
He wonderd if there was a way to make divorces less stressful. Soon after, he started OurFamilyWizard.com, a scheduling website for divorced and separated families whose mission is to ease the pain during a divorce by providing effective communication and organizational tools.
The site includes five main features for families: a calendar, a message board, an information bank, a journal and an expense log. Families can use the website to stay involved in their children’s lives, with less conflict. “Divorce itself is such a taboo topic. It’s just been recently, in the last five to 10 years, that people have even begun talking about their divorces and sharing those kinds of feelings,” says Kissoon.
“Overcoming the negative stigma of being a product for divorce has probably been the biggest challenge for us.”
