Custody Journal

Document your side. Protect your child. Build court-ready custody evidence without the other parent needing to install anything. Local-only, private.

Custody Journal is a single-parent custody evidence journal. Document custody exchanges, log your child's wellbeing after every visit, archive communications with the other parent, track child-related expenses, and generate a court-ready PDF evidence package.

WORKS WITHOUT YOUR EX Unlike most co-parenting apps, Custody Journal does not require the other parent to install anything. This is your private documentation tool. No account, no cloud, no invites.

CORE FEATURES (FREE)

• Exchange list and monthly calendar with color-coded status.
• Parenting time calculator that estimates your overnight share each month.

• Child Wellbeing Journal. Log mood, behavior, health, sleep, appetite, and your child's own words after every visit, with severity flags for routine, concern, or urgent observations.
• Child's Own Words. A dedicated field for exact quotes plus a separate context field, formatted the way family courts expect.
