Custody Journal App: Log It, Organize It, Bring It to Court
MyCustodyCoach is the AI-powered custody journal built for parents in active custody cases. Log incidents, track parenting time, organize evidence, and export court-adjacent summaries - all in one private, secure place.
Your Memory Isn't Enough. Your Notes App Isn't Either.
When custody disputes are ongoing, the details matter. A missed exchange. A hostile message. A pattern of canceled visits. These incidents are hard to track across texts, emails, and handwritten notes - and even harder to present clearly when it counts.
A general notes app does not organize by date, category, or child. A basic calendar does not capture what happened during a visit. And a folder of screenshots is not a court-adjacent record.
MyCustodyCoach gives you a structured custody journal built specifically for family law - so your documentation is organized, searchable, and exportable when you need it. For a deeper evidence workflow, see our custody evidence documentation guide.
Everything a Custody Journal Should Do
Log Incidents With Context
Record what happened, when, who was present, and what was said - with categories like missed exchange, communication issue, safety concern, or parenting time violation. Every entry is timestamped and stored securely.
Track Parenting Time
Log every visit, overnight, and exchange. See actual vs. scheduled parenting time at a glance. Generate reports that show patterns over weeks or months - useful when preparing for a modification hearing or documenting non-compliance.
Attach Evidence Directly to Entries
Upload photos, screenshots, PDFs, or documents and attach them to the relevant log entry. Your evidence stays organized with the incident it supports - not scattered across a phone camera roll.
AI Pattern Analysis
MyCustodyCoach does not just store your notes - it helps you find what matters. Our AI surfaces recurring themes across your log entries: repeated missed exchanges, escalating communication tone, unexplained schedule changes, or gaps in parenting time that may be relevant to your case.
Export Court-Adjacent PDFs
When you need to share your record with an attorney, mediator, or the court, export a structured PDF summary of your log entries - filtered by date range, category, or child - formatted for professional review.
Private and Secure
Your custody journal is yours alone. The other parent cannot see it, access it, or delete it. Your entries are stored securely and are only shared when you choose to export or share them.
