Child Custody Advice
What is the best advice someone could give you about your child custody situation? Would it be something about how to work with the child's other parent? How about some ways you could save money in legal fees? What if someone could give you advice about how to end up with the perfect child custody agreement? Would you take it?
The advice is actually quite simple: get Custody X Change.
Custody X Change is a child custody software that allows parents to create their child custody agreement. Parents choose the basic schedule they want. The divorce software has multiple schedules to choose from so that every parent can get exactly what they need. Parents then go through the program and divide up the holidays how they choose. They can also add one-time special events, recurring special events, and vacation days that are different from the ordinary schedule. All of this is outlined in a clear calendar form so it is easy to see the layout.
Each parent's days are shaded a different color so it is easy to tell when the child is with what parent--and the parents can choose the pick up and drop off times for all the days of visitation. Custody X Change also calculates the time-share percentage and overnight percentage that each parent has with the children. This is helpful for the parents to see as well as important for calculating child support. In addition to the schedule and the calendar, parents can add provisions and stipulations to the agreement. Maybe you want to have a travel itinerary when the other parent takes the child on vacation, or maybe you want to include a provision that you are told if the other parent gets the child a passport. You can look through the list of provisions that are already in the software and you can also add your own provisions if you have more. All of this is printed out in a nice, clear cut document that contains your entire child custody agreement.
Custody X Change saves time--and this is the time that you would be billed for by your lawyer. It's easy to create various schedules in Custody X Change and then give them to your lawyer to save time and money. You can also use Custody X Change to prepare for mediation, work to create a shared custody agreement with the child's other parent, and prepare for court. It saves you the headache and hassle of counting days and figuring out the complexities of your custody agreement. You and your child's other parent can easily work together to create the schedule both of you want. And, you also have ready access to the information about your child custody agreement and the calendar of custody time with your children.
Now, the most reliable advice always comes from people who have gone through a similar situation as you. So, here is what Steven Nelson wrote us after using Custody X Change in his child custody situation:
"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 abandoned 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 parenting 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."

And, here's what Eric Laughton had to say after using Custody X Change:
"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 custody 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!"
