Shared Parenting
More and more parents today are moving away from the traditional custody agreements that consist of a custodial and non-custodial parent. Instead they are opting for shared parenting and shared child custody situations. In a shared or joint custody agreement both parents have almost equal physical custody time with their children. And, both parents are responsible for making the important decisions in the child's life.
Shared custody is a valiant attempt by both parents to be involved in their child's life--for the benefit of the child. Because shared custody heavily involves both parents--and doesn't mean that one parent has the kids almost all of the time with occasional visits to the other parent--there are certain issues that can arise in a joint custody agreement. The biggest challenge in a shared parenting agreement is the difficulty in creating a working schedule that revolves around both parent's and the children. It can be confusing and hard to remember all of the pick up and drop off times and what days the children are with what parent.
Custody X Change solves that challenge.
Custody X Change is a child custody software program that allows you to create your child custody agreement. You can easily create a shared child custody agreement with this software because you simply put in the times that the children spend with each parent, divide the holidays, create any special events where the schedule will change, and you print off multiple copies of the calendar and schedule. You can even print off several years of the calendar. The software also calculates the time-share percentage that each parent has with the child--so both parents (and the court or mediation where you submit your agreement) know exactly how much time they get to be with the children. Along with creating a schedule and a calendar, you can print off the actual agreement to present to the court, mediation, your lawyer, and your ex. In addition to the agreement and the schedule you and the child's other parent can add in stipulations (you can choose from the ones provided in the program or make your own) that accompany the agreement (an example of a stipulation could be that you don't want one parent getting the child a passport without notifying the other parent). The software makes it easy for both parents to sit down and create the perfect, personal schedule for them and their children.
Steven Nelson is just one parent who has realized how easy Custody X Change makes it to create your perfect custody agreement. He wrote:
"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 abandon 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."

Stacie Staples also found that Custody X Change helped her with her co-parenting schedule. She wrote,
"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."
