The 2Houses app was designed to make it easier for divorced parents to communicate about their children's lives. Both parents can edit and update a shared digital calendar to keep track of their kids' busy schedules and ensure that neither parent misses a ballet recital or a parent-teacher conference. One helpful feature: if one parent makes a schedule change, a notification will automatically be sent to the other parent to let him or her know. (credit:Shutterstock)

The Divorce Log app is a calendar-based program that help divorcés keep track of divorce-related information (i.e. alimony and child support payment dates, expenses, and time spent with the kids) in one place. All entries stored in the app can be forwarded directly to an email address so that you can send pertinent information to an attorney or ex-spouse. (credit:Shutterstock)

The iSplit Divorce app helps users divide their pricey marital assets by assigning icons to all big-ticket items, including the house, cars, etc. Users are prompted to input the monetary value of each item before determining which former spouse gets them; the app keeps a running total of each spouse's assets, ensuring a fair split between both parties. You can also export the information into a spreadsheet to bring with you to a meeting with your attorney or give a copy to your spouse or financial advisor. (credit:Shutterstock)
