What this means in Australia
A parenting time log that stays organized — for Australian parents
A useful Australian record starts with the parenting order, plan or agreement actually in force. Keep changeover details, messages and attachments in sequence, including ordinary events that provide context.
Federal family law supplies the broad framework, while Western Australia and some related processes have distinct pathways. A private app record is not automatically an affidavit or annexure. A family lawyer can advise how selected material relates to current court rules or professional review.
Keep the master archive broad and the review pack proportionate. Select the relevant sequence, preserve the originals and state any gap rather than smoothing it away.
A record you can reconstruct later
Keep scheduled time and actual time easy to compare.

How it works
Build a timeline that answers what changed.
Record what was planned
Start with the scheduled pickup, return, overnight, or care period.
Add the actual outcome
Capture the time that occurred, including cancellations, late returns, and make-up time.
Connect the explanation
Attach the message or note that shows whether a change was requested, agreed, or disputed.
Common questions
Before you start recording
Casewell helps organize information. It does not decide what is legally relevant or replace advice from a qualified professional.
What is the difference between a calendar and a parenting time log?
A calendar shows what was planned. A parenting time log records what actually occurred and keeps later changes or explanations with that event.
Can I track make-up time?
Yes. Record the missed or changed period and connect any agreed make-up time so both parts remain visible.
Can I filter parenting time records?
Casewell lets you review and export records by date, child, or category.
