Preparing for Custody Court
If a parent hasn’t been able to resolve their custody situation, and has an upcoming court date, they should come to child custody court prepared.
First, a parent needs a custody agreement. This should include at least the child-sharing arrangement and a section on parenting provisions. The goal is to get the custody agreement accepted as the custody order.
Second, a parent needs proof of the time-share / overnight percentages. This proof should show a detailed listing of each day, totals, and draw the link between the days and the totals (proving that the totals are accurate).
Third, if any time has elapsed since the separation, a parent needs child records since the child-sharing originally began. This should include a time listing by parent, and a journal of events. This is important to have because it reinforces the validity of the child-sharing portion of the presented custody agreement.
All three of these can be created using the Custody X Change software. Many parents who have used the software to prepare for court have sent me emails telling me how great it went. And I’ve received a number of emails from family law attorneys praising the software for how professional the documents are and how easy they are to create.
If you have an upcoming court date, please take a serious look at this software. It’s already helped countless people prepare for court.
