Custody documentation guide

What to look for in a custody exchange tracking app

The right exchange tracker fits into the few busy minutes at handover, so speed and clarity matter more than features you'll never use.

Quick answer: A good custody exchange tracking app lets you log a handover in seconds, capture scheduled and actual times, attach a message or photo, and export a dated summary. Privacy matters too, since these records are yours. Casewell is built around this: quick entries, parenting time logs, and PDF exports, without needing the other parent to join.

Fast logging at handover

You should be able to record an exchange in seconds, since that's all the time you have.

Scheduled versus actual

Capturing both times turns lateness into something measurable.

Attachments and notes

Keeping a message or photo with the entry gives the record context.

Private and exportable

Your records should be yours to control and simple to export as a PDF.

Does the other parent need the app?

No. A private exchange log is kept by you and doesn't require them to join.

Can I export exchange records?

Yes. Filter by date and export the parenting time entries as a PDF.

Is it free?

Casewell is a paid subscription with a 14-day free trial, not a free-forever app.

How Casewell can help

Casewell helps you keep calm, timestamped, organized documentation with attachments and PDF exports for attorney review, family court preparation, mediation, or your own records.
