Shared Parenting Custody Calendar Software

Using a shared parenting custody calendar can help you keep track of everything important in your children's lives, including the visitation schedule and how the custody arrangement is working.  One of the easiest ways to do this is by using child custody and visitation software, such as Custody Xchange.

What can this software do?

Custody Xchange is a child custody software program for your computer to help you keep track of everything relating to your children. You can use it to:

• Set up your parenting schedule - If you haven't established a parenting schedule yet, you can create different plans (either using the pre-defined samples or create one from scratch) to show to your ex. This is easier and clearer than writing everything out by hand. Plus it's simple to update when you finally settle on a plan that will work for everyone.
   
• Include parenting provisions - These provisions can go into your final parenting plan. What's handy about this function is that you can build your own customized parenting plan detailing the specifics of legal and physical custody. You can also include specific provisions covering child-care options, passport consent, health insurance coverage, etc. You can even print out the final report which contains the most common legal language contained in parenting plans.
   
• Document all the important details - If it looks like your custody case will be going to court, the journal and record-keeping functions will help your case immensely because it will give you a detailed report of all things that happen in your children's lives. You can track time-differences and the reasons why visitation didn't occur as scheduled. You can also use it to keep notes about the kids and anything that is happening in their lives.
   
• View the parenting plan calendar at a glance - There is a calendar function that makes building a visual calendars a snap. It's color-coded so you (and the kids) can readily see who has the kids on certain days. You can add reminders or update your calendar simply and easily and even export it to your iPhone or into Outlook. You can print out copies to give to your ex, hang on the wall, or take with you to court.
   
• Keep track of vacations and holidays - Since summer vacation and holiday visitation over-ride regular visitation, this software makes it easy to keep track of everything so there are no misunderstandings.

There is also a cool reporting function that lets you look up the actual time (and percentages) that the children spend with each parent, as well as the ability to print off information from all the other sections.
