Custody X Change
What it is
Custody X Change helps users create custody schedules and parenting plans, calculate parenting time, and organize co-parenting information. Its calendars accommodate regular, seasonal, holiday, and one-time changes, with time totals calculated by hours or overnights. The parenting plan template offers 144 provisions, and users can add custom ones. Other tools include a private journal, actual parenting time tracker, expense tracking, child information, activities, and co-parent messaging. Messages can be printed with read receipts, and the messaging system detects hostile language. Calendars can sync with services such as Google Calendar or Outlook. The service also sends children's names, birth dates, and parenting time totals to the cloud version of Family Law Software for child support calculations. A limited free version is available; it restricts scheduling to five holidays and does not allow printing. The Parent plan starts at $6 a month, billed annually. The company says data is encrypted in its database and in transit, but does not guarantee that a schedule or plan will be accepted by a court.
