Your Software is Great
"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."

The Judge Adopted my Plan
"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."

I Recommend it to Other Family Law Practitioners
"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."

Grandparents Child Custody and Visitation


Grandchildren are wonderful.

More and more grandparents are becoming involved in custody cases about their grandchildren. Some grandparents have to fight for full custody of their grandchildren because they recognize that the children's parents aren't fit caretakers. Other grandparents still want to visit with their grandkids after the children's parents separate. For these grandparents, it can be difficult to watch their child go through a custody battle. If their child doesn't get adequate time for visitation, the grandparents won't get to see their grandkids very much unless the other parent allows them to be involved (as of now, there are no laws that guarantee a grandparent's right to visitation).

There is hope. If the grandparents can prove to the family courts that the parents of the children have been neglectful and harmful in their treatment of the children they can be granted permanent custody. So, if a grandparent has been the full time babysitter and caregiver while the parents have been in and out of the picture, there's a good chance that the grandparents can become the legal guardians. And, a grandparent can help their child get fair visitation and thus ensure that they will still be involved in the grandchildren's lives.

Custody X Change helps with all of this.

Custody X Change is custody software that lets you sit down and create a custody agreement. You can set up the perfect custody and visitation schedule by building a calendar that includes a repeating cycle of custody and visitation, holidays, vacation time, and special events. You merely click on a tab to quickly enter the schedule you want and the program applies it to a calendar for as many years as you'd like to see. The software also keeps track of time-share and overnight percentages so you know exactly how much time the child is spending at various places. Along with the calendar, you can add provisions and stipulations about how the children should be raised. All of this prints out into professional documents in legal terminology. Or, you can export all of it to PDF or Word and make any changes you want.

So, how does this help with a grandparent who wants custody or visitation? Let's look at the situations we mentioned above.

If you are a grandparent fighting for full custody of your grandchildren.The key to win child custody is being prepared. Custody X Change can help you create a custody agreement to present to the court. With the Custody X Change calendar you can outline the plan of custody that you have for the grandchildren. You can add in visitation times and days for the parents so the court knows you are working with the parents. With Custody X Change you could also make a calendar that shows the amount of custody that you've already had with the grandchildren. You could enter in the time they've been with you and then have the time-share percentage to show the court. If you can show the court that you have been the main caretaker then it will be more likely that you will be granted custody.
If you are a grandparent who wants to see their grandkids after the parents divorce. You can help your child get fair time with their kids by using Custody X Change. Custody X Change helps parents prepare their custody case for court by making a great parenting plan. It will also help the parent prepare for mediation or meeting with the child's other parent. Many parents find that if they use Custody X Change it makes it easier to work with the other parent. The software makes the process more objective and it allows both parents to easily make and change a schedule until they find one they agree on. It is also helpful for both parents to know the time-share percentage that they have with the children.

With Custody X Change you can print multiple copies of the calendar, or you can export the information and email it. So, once the schedule has been decided, your child can send you a copy of the calendar. Then you can know the days and times that your child has the children and you can plan your visits. This lets you know you will still be involved in the child's life.
