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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the other parent see my custody journal?
No. Your custody journal in MyCustodyCoach is completely private. The other parent has no access to your account, your entries, or your documents. You control what gets exported or shared.
Is MyCustodyCoach a legal tool?
MyCustodyCoach is an organizational and AI-assisted drafting tool, not a law firm. It does not provide legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. It helps you organize information and prepare materials - your attorney or the court makes legal decisions. See our Disclaimer for full details.
Can I use my custody journal entries in court?
That depends on your jurisdiction and how your attorney advises you to use them. MyCustodyCoach helps you create organized, timestamped records. Whether and how to present those records is a legal question - talk to your attorney.
What's the difference between MyCustodyCoach and a co-parenting app?
Co-parenting apps like OurFamilyWizard are designed for shared communication between both parents. MyCustodyCoach is a private tool for your use only - focused on building and organizing your own record, preparing court documents, and getting AI-assisted guidance for your case.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $29/month. You can create a free account with no credit card required and explore the platform before choosing a plan. See pricing.
Does MyCustodyCoach work in my state?
Yes. MyCustodyCoach provides state-specific guidance for all 50 states.
