Start My Custody Journal Now

Your Custody X Change journal solves these problems and more. It helps you:

  • Recall important dates
  • Record your child's milestones and data
  • Track a parent's behavior
  • Retrieve documents quickly
  • Present professional-looking evidence

Your custody journal helps secure the best possible future for your child, thanks to the following capabilities.

Add unlimited entries

Add as many entries as you want, and make each entry as long as you want. No matter how many children or cases you have, there's space to store all your information in Custody X Change.

Attach photos and documents

Upload files like text message screenshots, emails, receipts, medical records, photos and more. Now all your evidence is in one, searchable location, with dates and notes to jog your memory.

Label by category

Give each entry labels to help you stay organized and generate reports specific to an issue. Create personalized labels that work for you, like "evidence for temporary order," "late pickups," "communication with ex," etc.

Choose what to print or export

Use the drop-down menu to filter your entries, or search to find entries with keywords. Then, print the organized document that results — or save it as a PDF or Word file. For example, you might print all entries labeled "denied time" to prove to a judge that the other parent isn't handing the child over as ordered.

Link with your lawyer

Link Custody X Change accounts to collaborate remotely with your lawyer. This lets your lawyer see and make edits to your journal instantly, keeping communication flowing as you develop a legal strategy. (Your journal is always hidden from the other parent.)

Testimonials

Here's what some of our customers have said:

I'm ... representing myself while my husband has hired a lawyer, and I have been stressing over him trying to pay as little as possible for child support. Your software has been more helpful than you will ever know.

Gena McLellan – Rio Rancho, NM

We lost on everything until we brought this in. With the software, we got everything we wanted in court. They were just completely shell-shocked because it was presented so well visually. I am completely and totally sold.

Ana Marcyan – Lawyer in Lake Forest, IL

The billing cost from a lawyer to prepare the documents would exceed the cost of the program and would be inferior to what you have developed. ... It is a truly valuable tool!!
