Child Custody Calendar Software

Your divorce may have started 10 years ago or last month, but as long as you have minor children together, you and your co-parent will need to develop a parenting plan that can work for both of you. A parenting plan is a document that helps parents define how the children will be raised in separate homes but under a shared set of goals and responsibilities. The main goal of the parenting plan is to look after the "best interests of the child." In nearly all cases, having a relationship with both parents is considered to be in the "best interests of the child." Even if you have sole custody, you will most likely need to coordinate parenting time with the other parent. That being said, you and your co-parent need to figure out a way to put the past behind you and move forward.

If you do not figure out a way to make things work, you will find yourself repeatedly returning to court because of an inability to communicate and share information with the other parent. These custody battles can go on for years if parents don't employ the tools necessary to break the cycle. Many families are turning to custody software solutions like the OurFamilyWizard® website to assist. The OurFamilyWizard® website works as an ongoing "living" version of your parenting plan.

"He said-she said," is a common phenomena in the family courts, parents may claim that information was provided or that they never knew about something. In these cases, the OurFamilyWizard® website can help to eliminate the "he said-she said" by providing excellent documentation of what actually happened as opposed to best recollection of what happened. Keeping accurate documentation of what happened and what did NOT happen which can be confirmed by a third party can help avoid additional costly litigation.

A few things to consider:

  • Any software that claims to help you "win" your custody case is probably not a tool that will help your children get past this tough time, it will just lead to more fighting between parents.
  • Parenting time calculations down to the hundredth of a percent only lead to fighting over percentages, not over what is best for your children.
  • Custody software that needs to be installed on your computer is only available locally and if your computer dies, so does all of your valuable information.
  • Internet-based custody software like the OurFamilyWizard® website never needs to be updated or reinstalled.
  • Look for a custody software tool that has a proven history, the worst case scenario is you become committed to a tool that doesn't do what you need to protect you.
  • The OurFamilyWizard® website is the only custody software solution, proven to be so effective, that courts in nearly all 50 states have ordered its usage in contested cases.
  • For over 10 years, the OurFamilyWizard® website has served thousands of families from all 50 states and over 70 countries. From celebrities to stay at home moms, the OurFamilyWizard® website has proven to be an easy-to-use and effective tool to improve co-parenting and shared custody relationships.
 

NOTE: Many state and federal laws use terms like ‘custody’ when referring to arrangements regarding parenting time and decision-making for a child. While this has been the case for many years, these are not the only terms currently used to refer to these topics.

Today, many family law practitioners and even laws within certain states use terms such as ‘parenting arrangements’ or ‘parenting responsibility,’ among others, when referring to matters surrounding legal and physical child custody. You will find these terms as well as custody used on the OurFamilyWizard website.
