Event-by-event record guides โ€” for US parents

Direct, practical event-by-event record guides for US readers, with state-aware boundaries, complete source records and clear next questions for local review.

Use this directory to build the working record before deciding what deserves legal action. Put the current custody order or parenting plan first, preserve complete messages and files, and keep each event tied to the date it occurred and the date it was recorded.

State law and county procedure control the next step. The guides deliberately separate record keeping from legal conclusions so that a family-law attorney can review a traceable source set instead of reconstructing it from screenshots and memory.
