Capture events as they happen
Log incidents, exchanges, communication issues, school concerns, medical notes, and other relevant events while details are still fresh.
Evidence Builder
Turn scattered notes, screenshots, and incidents into a clear evidence timeline — and court-ready preparation.
The CustodyCourtReady Evidence Builder helps you capture events as they happen, link evidence to your court order, analyze co-parenting response times from bulk message exports or emails, draft proposed order language, and print an organized preparation document — all in one workspace.
•
Documentation tools only. Not legal advice. Review all materials with a licensed attorney.
Overview
Built to help you document clearly, track compliance, and prepare with less stress.
The Evidence Builder is designed for the real way custody documentation happens:
small events over time, screenshots and files that need context, an existing court
order that matters, and the need to turn all of it into organized preparation.
Connect evidence to your court order
Paste sections of your order and link evidence entries to each one, tagged as followed, violated, or neutral — so compliance patterns are visible at a glance.
Analyze co-parenting communication
Upload a bulk message report from other apps or exported emails and get response-time statistics for each parent, ready to save as evidence.
Draft, refine, and print your preparation
Generate proposed order language from your documented evidence, check it for enforceability gaps, and arrange it into a clean printable document.
Why it helps
Organization changes the quality of your preparation.
Many parents do not struggle because they lack information. They struggle because
the information is spread across phones, email, screenshots, and memory.
Save hours of cleanup later
Document once and build from there instead of digging through months of screenshots and messages later.
Spot patterns automatically
Pattern detection flags recent violation clusters and rising frequency, and a timeline makes repeated issues easier to recognize than scattered notes.
Back up claims with response data
Communication analysis turns "they never respond" into measurable statistics — averages, medians, fastest and slowest response times per parent.
Propose language that can be enforced
Drafting tools check for vague terms, missing deadlines, and absent consequences — the gaps that make provisions unenforceable.
Feel less rushed before court
Steady documentation over time plus a ready-to-print preparation document beats reconstructing everything at the last minute.
Stay in charge of your case record
You decide what to enter, what to keep, and how to use it as part of your documentation process.
Use cases
Why parents use a tool like this instead of managing everything by hand.
It is not just about storing information. It is about making your documentation easier to maintain over time — and easier to act on.
One place for your running case history
Keep notes, uploads, court documents, and a timeline together so the important parts of your case are easier to review in context.
- Less jumping between apps and folders
- Court documents stored with the case they belong to
- Easier to review events in order
Ready for meetings, mediation, and court prep
A stronger record helps you prepare talking points, gather documents faster, and communicate your timeline more clearly.
- Quick review before meetings
- Compliance status per order section at a glance
- Printable preparation document for hearings
Useful for ongoing cases, not just one hearing
Custody documentation often develops over months. The Evidence Builder supports that kind of ongoing recordkeeping — for modifications, contempt, temporary or permanent custody, and DVPO cases.
- Case types for modifications, contempt, DVPO, and more
- Supports repeated entries over time
- Fits alongside your templates and binder
From documentation to proposed changes
When the current order isn't working, your linked evidence feeds directly into drafting proposed replacement language — with guidance built in.
- Evidence summaries and starter ideas per order section
- Enforceability and tone checks on every draft
- Clause library and remedy suggestions
- Saved drafts that assemble into one printable document
How it works
Document, organize, analyze, and prepare — one step at a time.

Feature 01
Create and organize cases in one place
Start by setting up a case workspace. Choose the case type that fits your situation — with plain-language descriptions if you're not sure — and upload existing court documents so everything lives with the case from day one.
- Case types: custody modification, temporary, permanent, DVPO, contempt, or general
- "Help me choose" guide with short descriptions of each case type
- Upload court orders and filings during case creation
- Switch between cases without losing structure
Feature 02
Use guided fields to build a stronger entry
The evidence entry form is structured to help users capture the facts clearly. Instead of relying on memory later, the app prompts for the kind of details that make an entry more useful.
- Track category, source type, date, time, and exhibit label
- Save the exact quote, summary, child impact, and relevance in one entry
- Upload supporting files alongside the written record
Feature 03
Review saved evidence in a structured timeline
Timeline view helps turn separate entries into a chronological story. Filters and grouped dates make it easier to focus on a date range, category, or sequence of events.
- View saved records by date in a cleaner timeline layout
- Filter by category or time range
- Review key fields like summaries, impact, quotes, and relevance at a glance

Analyze co-parenting response times from message exports or email
Upload a bulk message report PDF exported from other co-parenting apps, or exported email files (.eml), and the Communication Analysis tool measures how quickly each parent responds — turning a vague complaint into measurable, documented statistics you can save as evidence.
- Two source types: bulk message report PDFs and exported emails
- Average, median, fastest, and slowest response time per parent
- Threads matched automatically across the conversation
- Save any analysis directly as an evidence entry
Overall Average Response Time7h 42m

Track compliance against your actual court order
Paste the sections of your court order into Order Sections, then link evidence entries to each one — tagged as followed, violated, or neutral. Every section shows its compliance status at a glance, and pattern detection highlights recent clusters and rising frequency.
- One bucket per order section, with the full order text saved
- Link any evidence entry with a compliance tag
- Status pills: Followed, Violated, Mixed, or Neutral
- Pattern insights like "3 violations in the last 30 days"

Draft proposed order language, guided by your evidence
Describe what you want the new order section to address in your own words. The draft tool pairs your request with your linked evidence — then a built-in toolkit helps you strengthen it: an enforceability check, tone review, clause library, remedy suggestions, an evidence-cited rationale, and a redline compare against the current order.
- Evidence summary and starter ideas generated per order section
- Enforceability check flags vague terms, missing times, and absent consequences
- Tone check keeps language neutral and child-focused
- Clause library, remedies, rationale with exhibit citations, and redline compare
Enforceability Check6/7 · Strong
✓Specific times & exchange location
✓Consequence if violated

FAQ
Questions people usually have before they start
Quick answers about features, billing, data retention, printing, and how access works for subscribers.
Features
Communication Analysis measures co-parenting response times from two source types: a bulk message report PDF exported from other apps, or exported email files (.eml) from your email app. It matches messages into conversation threads and calculates the average, median, fastest, and slowest response time for each parent.
Any analysis can be saved to your case and added as an evidence entry.
Yes. The Draft Language tool summarizes the evidence linked to a court order section, offers starter ideas based on your documented patterns, and generates a draft from your own description of what you want changed. Built-in checks flag vague terms, missing deadlines, absent consequences, and inflammatory tone, and a clause library and remedy suggestions help you fill gaps.
These are drafting aids, not legal advice — always review proposed language with a licensed attorney before submitting anything to the court.
The Preparation Document collects the proposed language drafts you choose, in the order you arrange them, and prints them as one clean, organized document — with your case details, numbered sections, and an attorney-review disclaimer. You can print to paper or save it as a PDF.

General
Parents often document communication issues, missed exchanges, schedule changes, school concerns, incidents, and other records relevant to the child’s well-being. Clear, factual, consistent entries are usually the most useful — and linking them to the relevant court order section makes patterns easier to demonstrate later.
