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 Plan Template

Mom & daughter dinner time.

The best thing you can do for your child custody situation is to develop a good parenting plan. A parenting plan, also called a custody agreement, contains all of the information that the parents want to include about the custody of their children. The parenting plan is what the court takes and makes into a custody order--which makes the plan legally binding.

So, how do you make a good parenting plan? Well, one of the best ways to make a good, thorough plan is to use a parenting plan template. And, one of the best parenting plan templates available is Custody X Change.

Custody X Change is custody software that lets you create a custody agreement and parenting plan. The plan you make with the program includes a complete custody and visitation schedule with a repeating cycle of custody and visitation, a holiday schedule, vacation time, and special events. As you create your schedule, the software provides you with the timeshare percentage that each parent has with the children so you can make a schedule with fair parenting time. Because the program is so easy to use, you have the luxory of exploring different ideas for your calendar until you come up with something you like.

You can also add parenting provisions and stipulations to your agreement by choosing from a list in the program or creating your own. So, with a few clicks of the mouse you can have everything you want added to your parenting plan. You can then print off the documents for your agreement. These documents include a schedule of custody and visitation (in calendar and in written out form), a holiday schedule, vacation information, a time-share and overnight percentage report, and the provisions you've added. You can use these documents to prepare a case for court, work with your child's other parent, prepare for mediation, work with your attorney, etc. All of the information from the documents can also be exported to Excel, Word, and PDF.

Charles used Custody X Change to work out the custody agreement with the other parent. He found that the program made it easy to figure out his custody situation.

"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."

Marce discovered that the software let her see the best options for her custody and holiday schedules. She also uses it to track the actual visitation.

"Using the custody exchange really gives me a clear view of the current custody and holiday schedule and possible future scenarios. I use it frequently and would recommend it to anyone with keeping track of today's ever changing custody schedules."

Doug was able to to easily setup a complex custody schedule with Custody X Change. It also helped him work with the other parent.

"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 time."

And, the program continues to help you with your parenting plan after the plan is in place. Custody X Change provides you with a tracking and journaling feature to help you keep track of actual visitation and to keep notes about visits. As you track the actual visit times, you can print a report that show the difference between scheduled visitation and actual visitation. You can also print a log book of your journal entries. This feature helps both parents follow the schedule better, and the documentation can help you get your parenting plan modified.

As you can see, Custody X Change gives you the best template for a parenting plan you could ask for. Download your free trial of Custody X Change and see how it can help you.
