"Gave me a Clear Picture"

"Without Custody X Change, I would have signed the proposed agreement and found out about the problems and conflicts only after it was too late.

"Custody X Change took the raw data I had stared at for days, and in a few minutes, gave me a crystal clear picture of the resulting schedule.

"Custody X Change is a must-have resource for parents and attorneys working with visitation issues."

-Doug Conway, Fargo, ND
"My Plan Passed with Flying Colors"

"I can't thank you enough for the software.

"The Parenting Plan passed with flying colors in the courts and with my ex.

"Now the best part is that I am using the deluxe version to adjust and record my times.

"This is one software I will use for a long time.

"Thanks again."

-Gabriella Selmi, Granbury, TX
"Very Useful During Renegotiations"

"I used Custody X Change during our negotiations for Summer and Holiday visitation.

"The software was very easy to use and provided useful calculations from the agreed schedule.

"That 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."

-Chimena Thompson, San Diego, CA
"Helps See Child Support Consequences of Options"

"I got the Custody X Change software so I could give my clients a printed Calendar.

"Also, in New Mexico, there can be a significant change in child support from 'Schedule A,' where one parent has responsibility for less than 35 percent of the time, and 'Schedule B,' where each party has responsibility for more than 35 percent of the time.

"On borderline cases, it is important to know the possible child support consequences of various options."
