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."

Parenting Agreement


A mother spending time with her daughter.

The parenting agreement is the most important document that comes from your custody case. The agreement contains all of the terms and conditions that you must follow as you raise your child. If you want to stay involved in your child's life, it is absolutely crucial that you get the right parenting agreement accepted by the court. So, how do you create a parenting agreement that works for your custody situation?

Custody X Change is custody software that helps parents make the best parenting agreements. By using this software, you can easily create an agreement that contains a complete parenting time schedule, a list of provisions that help the agreement run more smoothly, a time-share and overnight percentage report and a calendar of the parenting time. And, you can feel confident that the parenting agreement you make with the program will let you continue to have a great relationship with your child.

 


Each tab lets you create part of your agreement.

 

This is a screen shot of the opening page of the program. Each tab on the top of the page lets you add parts of your agreement. To begin with, you create your repeating cycle of custody and visitation. Then you add any vacation time and holidays that you want into your schedule.

 


The calendar tab with the time-share percentage.

You can click on the "Calendar" tab at any time to see your schedule applied to the calendar. You can also add one-time and recurring special events (a special event is any time the custody changes) by clicking and dragging right on the days of the calendar. So, if your child has soccer games in the fall and the custody changes, you can add those in the appropriate months. The calendar tab also shows you the time-share percentage that each parent has with the children. As you make changes, the time-share percentage updates so you always have an accurate number.

The parenting time schedule is only the beginning of what the software allows you to do. The "Parenting Provisions" tab gives you the opportunity to add parenting provisions and stipulations to your agreement. These stipulations provide rules and guidelines that both parents must follow. You can add provisions about vacationing with the child, transportation to visitation, legal custody, resolving parental disputes, etc. The program offers a long list of provisions to add, and you can also make your own custom provisions.

 


You can print out a calendar of your schedule.

Custody X Change also provides you with all of the documents for your parenting agreement. You can print out the complete parenting time schedule (this includes the repeating cycle, a holiday schedule, and vacation information), the parenting provisions, the time-share and overnight percentage report, and a calendar of your parenting schedule. You can use these documents to work with the other parent (and it's easy to go back and make changes to your agreement if you need to), to prepare and show your agreement in mediation, to present your case in court, to show your attorney, etc. All of the documents can also be exported to Word and PDF so you can make any changes that you want.

 


You can print a report that shows the scheduled parenting time compared to the actual parenting time.

After your parenting agreement is in place, you can continue to use Custody X Change to make sure that the parenting agreement is being followed. The program has a feature that lets you track actual parenting time and keep a journal about what goes on during visits and other custody issues. The program provides you with a report that shows the difference between scheduled parenting time and actual parenting time, and you can print off the notes you keep in the journal. This is extremely helpful if you ever want your agreement modified, and it also helps you and the other parent follow the agreement.
