The Best Co-Parenting App: Custody X Change (And Here's Why)

A co-parenting app (sometimes called a custody app) makes parenting from separate households easier.

Most co-parenting apps come with basic custody calendars and a place to store information about your child, like clothing sizes.

Custody X Change goes far beyond that at an affordable price. More than 60,000 parents — plus thousands of legal professionals — have decided it's the app for them.

Why Custody X Change is the best co-parenting app

Custody X Change ensures the best possible future for your children with a thorough set of tools.

Co-parenting calendar with quick templates

Custody X Change walks you through each step of creating a custody calendar. Customize a popular template or build something totally unique. Either way, you'll clearly see when your child will be with each parent, including over holidays and school breaks.

You can customize this to fit your situation with Custody X Change.

You can receive alerts when an exchange or activity is coming up. And if you link accounts with your co-parent, you can collaborate on calendars and instantly see any changes they make.

Parenting time calculators and reports

Your custody calendar calculates your scheduled parenting time for any period, taking changes into account, like that extra weekend you agreed to give your ex.

You can also privately track parenting time. For example, you could note whenever your co-parent picks your child up late. Then generate a report on actual parenting time to see how your timeshare was affected.

You can customize this to fit your situation with Custody X Change.

Thorough parenting plan template

Many parents choose our co-parenting app because of the detailed parenting plan template. It offers over 140 popular provisions so you can build a proposal or agreement the court will like. You can write provisions unique to your situation, as well.

You can customize this to fit your situation with Custody X Change.

Your co-parenting calendar also appears in your plan, along with a description in legal terminology.

A Custody X Change parenting plan is better than basic templates at helping you avoid parenting disagreements. This is a major reason our plans have been adopted by judges around the world.

Co-parent messaging

Communication between parents can be troublesome regardless of how well you get along. Use Custody X Change co-parent messaging to ease some of the biggest challenges.

Some parents search through hundreds of texts and emails — or hire a lawyer — to highlight when the other parent was less than cordial. Our hostility monitor highlights harsh language automatically so you can print reports (and keep your own language in check).

You can customize this to fit your situation with Custody X Change.

Custody X Change messaging also saves you the hassle of dealing with a co-parent who lies to the court about your conversations. It keeps a complete record of every conversation and shows when a parent has read a message.

Custody documentation

As a co-parent, you need to keep careful track of what happens with your child. You may need to share the details with the other parent or with the court at some point.

Your Custody X Change journal makes documenting day-to-day life easy. It helps you:

• Note your child's updates and milestones
• See behavior patterns your child or co-parent has
• Recall important dates or discussions
• Store documents
• Present professional-looking evidence

Your custody journal is hidden from the other parent so that you can write freely. If you want to share entries with them, print or email those entries.

You can customize this to fit your situation with Custody X Change.

Family expense tracker

Family lawyers often advise clients to track child-related expenses. These records can help prove your involvement with your children, not to mention get the other parent to reimburse you.

You can customize this to fit your situation with Custody X Change.

Paper receipts are a hassle to organize. With Custody X Change, you can upload receipts or other attachments.

Once you enter basic information about an expense and how much the other parent owes, the app calculates totals so you can send an invoice to your co-parent.

And more tools

Custody X Change also comes with a calendar for your child's activities, a space to store child info you or your co-parent might forget (e.g., their friends' contact information, medication instructions) and more.

We're continuously adding to and improving the app to make your co-parenting journey easier. Don't hesitate to email us if you have ideas or questions. We're proud of our excellent customer service.

Who needs a co-parenting app

These days, a co-parenting app like Custody X Change is essential to parenting after divorce or separation.

You don't need a smooth co-parenting relationship or a 50/50 schedule to benefit. In fact, an app can be especially helpful to exes with strained relationships since it helps you resolve issues without being in the same room.

Your judge may order you to use an app if they think it'll help you stay out of court in the future. You can ask them to order Custody X Change specifically — but many of our users sign up without a judge's involvement.
