Court officials use Custody X Change to create court ordered parenting plans and when offering assistance to parents. Many courts install Custody X Change on multiple computers and use the program to:
Courts can save basic plans in the software that follow the guidelines of what the court wants in a parenting plan. This allows a facilitator or judge to quickly open a plan and make a few changes to fit the situation instead of creating a plan from scratch for every case. Using the software also allows the court to keep an electronic record of schedules, which can help settle arguments betwee parents.
Judges can use Custody X Change as they meet with the parents (or right in court) in order to come up with the right parenting plan. The program gives the judge a clear picture of how a plan or schedule will work, and it allows the judge to easily explain the plan to the parents.
Court facilitators use Custody X Change as a resource when they offer assistance to parents. The facilitators can look at plan options for the parents and help them come up with a solution for their custody needs.
