Message the Other Parent Civilly — and With a Record

Talking face-to-face or on a call isn't always the best idea for divorced and separated parents. Even text messaging can be problematic.

Have calmer conversations with Custody X Change. It alerts you to hostile language before you hit send, and it automatically flags hostile language when you print messages for court. Plus, it keeps messages from your co-parent out of your regular inbox.

You can customize this with Custody X Change.

Visualize your schedule. Get a written parenting plan. Calculate your parenting time.

See read receipts

As soon as the other parent views your message in Custody X Change, it's marked "read." This can provide peace of mind, plus serve as important evidence for court.

Monitor hostile language

The hostility monitor prompts parents to change combative language before they hit send. If they don't change the language, it gets bolded when either parent prints or exports the message. This two-pronged approach helps parents focus conversations on their kids rather on than personal grievances.

You can customize this with Custody X Change.

Print or export messages by topic

You can customize this with Custody X Change.

Label messages so you can you choose what to print or export. Labels are always hidden from your co-parent and don't appear in your printed or exported document.

For example, print all conversations labeled "cancellations" to show how the other parent regularly backs out of custody time. Or save the ones labeled "summer camp" as a PDF to easily view your child's plans.

Attach photos and documents

You can attach images or documents to your messages — maybe a shot of your child's report card or the itinerary for your upcoming trip. Either parent can then print or download the files.

Share with your lawyer

If you link your lawyer's Custody X Change account, they can view your conversations with the other parent, print messages and edit message labels. This helps them prepare for court and stay informed.

Get started easily

To message the other parent, first link Custody X Change accounts. (Both need to be paid versions.) Then send your first message.

Testimonials

Here's what some of our customers have said:

There isn't a lot my ex and I agreed on, but the user-friendly program you provided worked for both of us.

Leslie Conn – Toledo, OR

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!!

Russell King – Jacksonville, FL

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.
