How do I document missed visitation?

Log each missed or late visit with the date, time, and what happened — plus any message or notice about it — kept in one place so the pattern is clear.

What counts as a custody violation?

When a parent willfully fails to follow a clear term of the court-ordered parenting plan — missed visits, denied access, unilateral decisions, or schedule breaches.

What should I document for a custody case?

Missed and late visits, co-parent communication, school and medical records, and any safety concerns — factual, dated, no emotional language.

When should I start documenting?

As early as possible, and keep going even after an agreement — a record built as events happen is far stronger than one reconstructed later.

Is this you?

Is this happening to you?

Co-parenting isn't going to plan, and you need a record. If this sounds familiar:

Missed or skipped visits with no notice
Late pick-ups and drop-offs, over and over
Schedule changes made without agreement
Messages that contradict what was agreed
A pattern you can feel but can’t yet prove

Courts decide on facts, not accusations — dated, specific, and in order. That's what this app helps you build.

How it works

Three simple steps.

Capture — Log each missed visit or violation with the date and the facts. Timestamped instantly.
Build — Everything lands on one clear, dated timeline.
Export — One tap turns it into a complete record for your lawyer or family court.

For family lawyers & mediators

A custody case is decided on the record, not the argument.

Most parents arrive with “it’s been happening for months” and scattered texts. The ones who get results show up with every incident dated and in order. You can't be there for each exchange. But you can point them somewhere that captures it.

What usually walks in

“It’s been happening for months”
Texts with no dates
Missed visits half-remembered
Nothing written down

What buildmyevidence brings

Every incident dated & timestamped
Co-parent messages saved in order
A clear pattern, not a story
Exported as a clean record

They arrive ready

A dated pattern, not “I think”. Stronger from day one.

Evidence isn’t lost

Recommend it early and the record builds as it happens.

Costs you nothing

No admin. Just point them to it.
