What is Custody X Change?


Getting Your Ideal
Custody Arrangement
Should be Easy
"Discover How To Win Your Kids Back and Save
Thousands in Support and Legal Fees!"
Custody X Change is software that both parents and legal professionals use to easily create child custody agreements and parenting plans.

Using Custody X Change, you set up:

1.  Your ideal custody and visitation schedule
2.  Your summer vacation time
3.  Your hoilday schedule and special events

You can then print the calendar and give it to the other parent (or send it over email) so you're both always on the same page.

You can also include parenting provisions (stipulations) in the custody agreement. You then print the legal text and bring it to court or mediation, or simply have your ex (or the other party) agree to it.

Finally, the software makes record keeping / journaling super easy. It lets you quickly note when there is a scheduling change (ex., late or missed exchange), input the reason why, and journal any other useful information about the day or the parenting time. It then produces a time-difference report and a log / journal report - both useful for modifying an existing order to obtain more parenting time.

One last benefit: you're given an accurate calculation for timeshare & overnight percentages. These percentages are a primary consideration in calculating child support in almost every place in the world; and you (or your client) could save thousands by simply using the correct calculations.

Testimonials

Here is a selection of testimonials that customers have sent me. Some were sent to me after I asked the person for a testimonial, while others were sent in without me even having to ask.
"After 3 years, we finally went through a custody evaluation. We agreed that whatever the evaluator came up with, that was the schedule we would use. While the schedule was very specific in the evaluation, it was also complex and hard to implement without a visual calendar. This software allowed us to create that and has made our lives (and the kids' lives) so much easier. Thank You!"

"Using the custody exchange really gives me a clear view of the current custody and holiday schedule and possible future scenarios. I use it frequently and would recommend it to anyone with keeping track of today's ever changing custody schedules."


Marce Evans
Pennsylvania

"I had entered into what seemed to be a reasonable mediated settlement and was due to sign it in a few days. I was uncertain about some of the provisions of the visitation schedule as proposed, so I searched the Internet for some way to help me sort it all out, and I found Custody X Change. I downloaded the free trial, entered the terms of the proposed visitation schedule, and was shocked at what I saw. There in clear graphic as well as report views, Custody X Change showed me in how the visitation schedule as proposed would result in far less time with my son than the paperwork had led me to believe. It also revealed multiple weekends in a row without any visitation at all, due to the proposed holiday and special event schedule.

I bought the full version, printed off the schedule, and brought it to the next mediation meeting. As a result, I was able to change the proposed schedule to avoid the problems revealed by Custody X Change. Without Custody X Change, I would have signed the proposed agreement and found out about the problems and conflicts only after it was too late. Custody X Change took the raw data that I had been staring at for days, and in a few minutes, gave me a crystal clear picture of the resulting schedule. Custody X Change is a must-have resource for parents and attorneys working with visitation issues."

Doug Conway

"I got the Custody X Change software so I could give my clients a printed calendar. Also, in New Mexico, there can be a significant change in child support from 'Schedule A,' where one parent has responsibility for less than 35 percent of the time, and 'Schedule B,' where each party has responsibility for more than 35 percent of the time. On borderline cases, it is important to know the possible child support consequences of various options."

"I am currently going thru a custody battle. In searching the internet for 100's of hours I finally found this site. It has saved several hours of pushing a pencil and rearranging days back and forth. The best part is that it figures out the hours and percentage of time with each parent each month. The reports are very clear on who has the child, even including the times. I do believe when I show it at mediation it will leave everyone in a happy place. Well worth the money, do it your self and hand it to your attorney."

Ruth Ballard
Standish, ME

(A couple months later this same Ruth sent me a nice picture and an exciting update)

"To each and everyone of you that have been there for this past year. It has been exactly one year of a hell. There is no other word to describe it. The court had set aside 3 days for trial on the 19th,20th and 21st. Judge Nievison met with David and I this past Monday and Tuesday to try to come to an agreement in the best interest of Chandler. The Judge was so dedicated and determined to put closer to it. After 15 straight hours it was done. I felt the case was decided more than fair. I am very comfortable with the outcome and only hope David can somehow relax and enjoy his time with Chandler and find what ever it is to make him happy in life.

"I can not thank you all enough for all that you did for Chandler and I. I feel so fortunate that I have such wonderful friends because you carried me through the hardest times of my life. My hats are off to all you mothers that got through it alone and continue to deal with co-parenting.

"I have packed up my research papers and cleaned off my desk. Today is a new day with an old schedule. Meet me in the barn!!!!! unless I decide to write a book, change the laws on Guardian Ad Litems, and/or become some sort of group leader for mothers that were in the same situation I was in for a year.

"I am truly blessed to have all of you in my life."

"The lives of those who must deal with child custody issues, and court ordered parenting plan agreements, are challenging at best. I'm pleased to have found your software to ease the frustrating process of creating and managing custody schedules.

"Prior to purchasing your program, I tested three others. I even went so far as to purchase one of them and attempt to use it to create my plan. After fighting with its cumbersome and limiting interface for hours, I abandon my attempts to use it and purchased Custody X Change. With your product I was able to create my plan in a fraction of the time with far less frustration.

"I found the simple interface for creating a basic plan template easy and quick to use. I entered the structure of my plan and the program automatically flushed it out to the calendar for as many years as I wanted. After entering my basic plan template I used the holiday template to enter in the specifics of how the holidays were to be handled. The program plugged in the data and made adjustments to the schedule which automatically filled in on the calendar. In a matter of minutes I had a complete calendar allowing me to look at any day in the future and see the custody schedule.

"In order for me to figure out holiday schedules prior to using this program, I would sit down with a printed copy of my court ordered schedule in one hand; the calendar in the other; and surround myself in colored highlighters and paper. After laboriously deciphering the descriptions outlined in my printed schedule, I could then apply the details in multi colored highlighters to a calendar. Custody X Change allows me to say good bye to that process altogether. Now I can just enter a date range and bring up the completed calendar with the holidays already factored in.

"In addition to being able to print out calendars, the program has the ability to generate reports which provide clear descriptions of the plan's structure. Whether, it's communications with the X, the courts, or legal counsel, these reports will come in handy.

"Custody X Change exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it to parents and legal professionals who have a need to create and manage custody schedules."

Sincerely,

Steven Nelson

"I only purchased your software a couple of weeks ago, but have found it to be very useful and believe that once the plan is submitted to the Ex and opposing Lawyer, I will see the true benefit(s). I have not found anything yet that I would like added to the software and think that the only thing that your product needs is recognition. You need to find a way to let people know it is available. People may cringe at the initial cost, but the billing cost from a lawyer to prepare the documents would exceed the cost of the program and would be inferior to what you have developed. Parents who want more time with their kids need this and it will save them money in the long run!! It is a truly valuable tool!!"

Russell King
Jacksonville, FL

"It can be tailored made to fit your unique schedule with holidays and vacations, plus it breaks the time share down so you can come up with a true shared parenting schedule. It helped me so much and I was pro se against a family law specialist, the judge adopted my plan that I came up with using custody exchange. Thank you so much it was invaluable."

Stacie Staples
Arroyo Grande, CA

(Mike came home from active duty to find his wife's boyfriend at his house)

"Had my court today. Was up till 11pm last night working out the details of shared parenting plan with my soon to be x-wife. Before last night she has been saying her lawyer was going for my only having my daughter one night a week and every other weekend. After talking about daycare and times we worked out a plan. I then told her I had this program that will let her know exactly what the % of times will be, and print out a calender. So, I set up all the overlays for vacation, holidays, etc. & sent a copy out to her in PDF format. She changed a little to have it come out for her at 54% and me at 46%. We agreed to both give it to our lawyers before going in to court. My lawyer was freaking out on how much detail and professional it was. He went in with X's lawyer and the magistrate for about 10 minutes then came in and said neither of them had ever seen anything like this. They said we will have a 60 day time period to make sure we can do it then have it put into final. So now my lawyer is going to be downloading your software some time this week and checking it out. I'm sure her's will to after she just got slammed in the face because she was telling my X that this Magistrate is back woods and believes the wife should have full custody. So again thank you very much."

"Great product. I represented myself in court. I used the software to organize my information in a concise and meaningful presentation."

RC in Encinitas

"I used Custody X Change extensively during renegotiations for Summer and Holiday visitation. The software was very easy to use and manage which also provided useful information calculated from the agreed schedule. The software also spared us from having to do the tedious task of counting days on a calendar. I would recommend this product to any parent who has to establish a custody schedule with another parent. The interface is simple, yet thorough."

Chimena T.
San Diego, CA

"I just want to let you know that your software is great and easy to use. My son's mom and I don't agree on much, but we do try to make adjustments to accommodate my son's many activities. It is great to get my son's baseball schedule in March, look at my Custody Xchange calendar, and know that what nights in April, May, and June we are going to switch. Thanks again."

Frank Ryan
Meriden, CT

"I have used the Custody X Software in some complicated custody cases and have found it a very useful tool. Many people are very visual and the ability to lay out custody schedules years in advance has been helpful. I have found the software very easy to use and would highly recommend it to other family law practitioners. "

Meredith W. Ditchen

"I found the software very easy to use. It's flexible, making a tough job with a tricky schedule easier to work out. It's set up around my work schedule which is pretty crazy, but your software made it easy to setup, and I was able to get her to agree to it. I gave her a copy of the schedule, and now there are no arguments over scheduled parenting time."

Doug Hayes
Franklin, OH

"Having a child with special needs (autism) can be overwhelming. Trying to work out a schedule in the midst of a divorce can be tiring and expensive. we needed everything to be spelled out in simple terms. The money we saved using your user friendly custody exchange went to extra's for my sons therapy. There was no confusion on where and when each of us had him. There isn't a lot my ex and I agreed on but the user friendly program you provided worked for both of us."

Leslie Conn

"I love this software. Custody X Change is one of the very few packages that actually gets it! And the developer, Ben, is very willing to listen to feedback on his program and make changes where it makes sense! Keep up the good work Ben!"

(I sat down with Paul one evening in a Starbucks in Boston and talked over some ideas regarding Custody X Change. He was a real nice guy with some useful feedback.)

Paul B.
Worcester, MA

"Ben: Your software rocks! The key to effective software is measured in various ways. This is what I found:

1) Intuitive: Your software is easy to use, even for the novice computer user.

2) Utility: The test was when I went to court two weeks ago. I brought in your "reports" accompanied with the printed calendar for from your software. The judge's referee (judge was not available) as well as my wife's attorney reviewed the proposal, with the percentage given, they both agreed what I was asking for was "reasonable." The ability to view percentages was quite helpful!

3) Customer Service: I sent you five emails with various questions within 20 minutes of purchasing your software. It was 11pm when I sent them. You responded within minutes to each one. It can be "crap shoot" when ascertaining the certainty of customer service when purchasing online. THANK YOU for providing excellent customer service then and now.

4) Future use: So, now what? I purchased the software and, hopefully, will be divorced in a few months. The value of your software is will continue. Just the ability to, with a click, swap holidays and print future calendars will be VERY helpful. Moreover, with the ability to export to PDF, coupled with the ability to add single holidays, is simply outstanding.

**Finally, I was reluctant to purchase initially because of the cost. I believe the software just paid for itself at my last court hearing. Keep up the good work!"

Eric Laughton
Gasport, NY

"Great improvements to an efficient program. I use Custody-X-Change in domestic relations mediations. It saves a lot time, and allows me to model the various suggested parenting plans as the final agreement evolves. Both the written parenting schedule and the graphic display do not allow for any gaps in the plan and greatly reduces any misunderstanding between the parties. Several judges and attorneys have commented on the clarity and precision of the final plan. I look forward to the next enhancements."

"Hello. As someone who needed a little help sorting out time issues around custody of my children, I found custody exchange to be simple and easy to use and very clear with the outcome at a time when that was necessary. My former spouse and I have referred it to other families in need. We have had great success with it. The program is clear and easy to make time lines or plans for events. We do not dispute over time or access as all is laid out simply. It works well for unplanned events as well as the Percentage calculator has made for fair trades. Thank-you."

Charles Shillolo
Toronto, ON, Canada

"Before I found this software there was confusion regarding 'who is where when and at what time'. Now as the plaintiff and I have Custody X Change we have eliminated that confusion. This has been especially useful for the holidays and summer breaks, when we would like not to have any added stress."

Satisfied in Santa Rosa, CA

"Custody X Change made life much easier. Every year I sat down and cut and pasted a calender together then made copy for my ex then the debate would start. For the past 3 years I just put in a little fine tuning for the year then print her a copy. No open debate for 3 years. Thank you."


Bob Prince
Anchorage, AK

"I have been researching family law for a long time. You're software is by far the most superior out there. Any of my (I can't use clientele because I research for free) that asks for help has been and will be recommended your software. Thank you for allowing me a thirty-day trial of it so I could check it out for myself to recommend to others."

Carrie Howell

"The new reports look great, and would have been very useful in my divorce. My divorce was final Aug 10th, I can see how this program would be very helpful for someone in the process of divorce.

I had a "happy divorce", there was no battle, we split everything including parenting time and custody. The custody exchange program helped me create a much more realistic parenting plan, that helps us visualize and plan. I am utilizing the program to keep track of holidays and vacations as well.

Thanks to your wonderful program, I was able to create a better plan, present it to the kids' mother and we are able to agree to disagree from the ordered plan."

David

"About four months ago I received the sad news that my wife wanted a divorce. Almost immediately I was focused on where our two girls would spend their time. In fact, within 48 hours I was documenting every minute of my time with them to assist my case in a potential custody battle that my ex-wife had threatened.

The divorce got contentious, as many do. Where the girls would spend their time was a major source of conflict. With Custody X Change, I was able to show my ex-wife graphically with two years' worth of calendars how, if her proposed schedule were reversed, it would be unacceptable and a complete travesty of the notion of parenting time.

Suddenly the trajectory changed and within two weeks I had a written agreement to a grudging but somewhat amicable 50/50 physical custody split.

Thanks Ben, the calendar printout was a great and effective tool."

Steve Capaul
Inver Grove Heights, MN

"Thank you for writing Custody X Change. I'm a stay-at-home mom representing myself while my husband has hired a lawyer, and I have been stressing over him trying to pay as little as possible for child support. Your software has been more helpful than you will ever know."

Gena McLellan
Rio Rancho, NM

"Normal life complicated by the complexities of the the divorce process can be difficult at times. Fortunately the great people over at custodyxchange.com have helped to simplify some of the burden with their very well-designed and easy to use software. I am a visual person and a newly divorced Dad. The graphical timeshare calendars that custodyxchange makes possible have really helped to simplify part of my life during a difficult time.

Thank you Ben!"

Daryl Sansevero
Irvine, CA

"I had the opportunity recently to take a look at some interesting software developed for domestic relations lawyers. To see it and even try it out, go to www.custodyxchange.com. It goes well beyond mere calendaring software. It provides courts and counsel with the tools to quickly determine which weekends, holidays, or other days the children will be with a specific parent. Several courts are already using it.


"I personally don't handle domestic relations matters anymore but do recall from over 20 years ago when I did handle divorces that they were very contentious. This software can provide a printout to each party and each lawyer as well as allowing the court to keep a paper and/or electronic record of who is supposed to go where and when. That could quickly settle lots of arguments. The court can generate the schedule and then just order that it be obeyed, providing a copy to each party on the spot.


"This is the kind of electronic aid that can improve the administration of justice. There are so many such possible uses of computers today. It's a shame our profession doesn't use such tools more often. If you handle domestic relations matters, I strongly recommend that you take a look at this fine electronic tool designed by Ben Coltrin."

FAQ


Why do you ask for my name & email to download?
1. Because filling out your information shows your commitment to fixing your custody situation.
2. Because the email list is used to answer your questions, give bonuses, and send updates.
3. And because it helps me keep track of how many free trials are being given out.
I live in -, does the software calculate the correct numbers for child support here?
Yes, it works for -. It works everywhere in the world - it calculates percentages, hours, and overnights.
Can I use the reports as legal attachments where I live?
Absolutely. "Because it accurately and clearly states all the terms, there is no problem using it as an attachment to the decree." -Judge David Day

The software is installed and in use in multiple states in courthouses and government facilities.
Where I live weekends start on Friday, not Saturday (or vice-versa).
No problem. Go to Options -> Plan Options, and change it there.
How can I print the calendar for 1 month / 24 months / X month(s)?
Set the dates in the status bar at the bottom of the program and then preview the calendar.
My one-time events and holidays aren't changing the timeshare - Help!
Double check the dates at the bottom of the program. Timehsare is being calculated for that specific period of time.
Is the software MAC compatible?
Sorry, it's not, and there are no plans to make a Mac version. Sent from my iPhone

Update: Looks like it is possible.

1. I met up with a customer in Boston to talk over some ideas for improvement and he surprised me when he showed me the software running on his macbook. His solution: dual-boot windows. Apple explains how here

2. I talked with a customer who purchased it at work b/c they had a PC there, instead of at home. That gets around the Mac problem.

3. And I talked with another customer who said she's using VMWare Fusion to get Custody X Change on her Mac Laptop, and that it's really easy to use. See how to do that here.
Can you send me a CD?
Nope. Just download it off of the site.
How does this certain feature work?
If you're just getting started I'd suggest you watch the how-to videos I created (links are provided in the trial). More complicated questions could be answered by the help file inside the software, although it hasn't been updated in a little while. If neither of those options turns up any good results, or if you're having a difficult time, feel free to contact me.
Do you have a phone number I could call?
Yes, 877.861.5211. Please only inquiries regarding the software, not regarding other things legal. I can't give legal advice and I can't return emails or calls that ask for it.
How do you have so many testimonials, and are they all from real people?
No one has actually asked me this question, but I'm sure many people have thought it. The answer's pretty simple: I ask for them, and yes they are all real. Many are quite happy to volunteer after the software helps them. And if you purchase you can bet I'll ask you for yours as well.

About me:

I started work on Custody X Change in 2003 while finishing a Bachelors in Computer Science. I then went to the Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and graduated with a Masters in Business Administration in 2008.

I'm currently working on Custody X Change full time, doing product development and internet marketing.
