Do you know what some of the first child custody advice family law professionals tell parents in a custody situation?
It’s that parents need to keep a custody journal.
And in that journal, parents should keep track of at least the following:
- Modified exchange times
- Reasons for modifications
- Notes for the day
Now, simply having written something down in a journal doesn’t prove that it actually happened. It’s important to be able to back up any claims that are made about times or happenings.
But, having a well-organized journal does go a very long way, which is exactly why family law professionals tell parents to start keeping one as soon as possible.
So how does Custody X Change fit in?
The software Custody X Change lets parents journal notes and track modifications to exchanges. It is, hands-down, the easiest way to keep track of everything that’s going on.
And once your data is in the software, you can print out professional documents that show three things:
- How much time you actually had the kids (compared with what you were court ordered to have)
- The reasons you entered why each child visitation was changed
- A daily journal to show a log of any other sorts of happenings that you’d like
These reports clearly reveal what’s really been going on. And if you’re going to want to show discrepancies between the court-ordered schedule and the real-life schedule, it can make going about that a whole lot easier.
