Parental Custody

Parental custody refers to your responsibility and right as a parent to care for your child. This responsibility doesn't end when parents get divorced. Both parents still have the duty to provide for their children physically, emotionally, financially, etc. The difficult thing after a divorce, obviously, is that the parents and children no longer reside in the same location. This can make it difficult for both parents to actively provide for their children's necessities. Because of this, it is vital for parents after a divorce to create a parenting plan for how they will provide for their children. This parenting plan is often called a custody agreement. This is the agreement that the court will accept and make into a custody order. The custody order binds the parents legally to the terms and conditions in the plan.

Custody X Change can help you fulfill your parental custody responsibilites by helping you create a parenting plan or custody agreement that is the best for your children. Custody X Change is custody software that lets you sit at your computer and easily make a custody and visitation schedule. In this schedule you can put in your repeating cycle and the software applies it to as many years as you want to see. You also put in your holiday schedule (and the program helps you create that), your vacation times or schedule, and your special events. After you come up with your schedule you can add in parenting provisions to your agreement. You can choose from a list that the software provides or you can create your own. All of this prints out into professional documents that outline your custody and visitation schedule in document and calendar form, an outline of your vacation and holiday time, the parenting provisions, and a time-share and overnight percentage report. This report shows you exactly how much time each parent has with the child. You can also export the documents to Word or PDF and make any changes that you want.

Why would a parent involved in a custody case need Custody X Change? Well, Custody X Change can help in almost any custody situation. It helps parents work together to create the best arrangement, parents who need to prepare for a court case, parents who want to save money in legal fees, and parents who want an easy way to keep track of the child's custody schedule. All of this helps you have peace of mind that your child is being raised the way you want.

Stacie used the program to help her prepare and win in court.

"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."

Doug used the software to create a schedule that works for his situation.

"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 times."

Chimena used Custody X Change to prepare for renegotiations so she could get the time she wanted with her child.

"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 custody 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."

Charles used the program to work with his former spouse and to avoid a child custody dispute.

"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."
