Common questions
Frequently asked
- A custody journal is a dated record of parenting time, exchanges, communication, and notable events involving your child. Parents keep one to stay organized day-to-day and to have clear, consistent documentation if questions come up later.
- Rules vary by jurisdiction, but contemporaneous, factual records are generally given more weight than reconstructed memories. Keeping entries neutral, dated, and child-focused helps your log be useful if it is ever shared with an attorney or mediator. This is general information and not legal advice.
- Notes apps capture text but leave structure up to you. MyParentingLog turns short, raw notes into a consistent, neutral summary with the same fields each day, and lets you export clean PDFs for any date range — so your record stays scannable and credible over months and years.
- No. Your log is private to your account. You decide what to export and who to share PDFs with.
- No. Most parents find a short daily entry easier than catching up later, but the app works just as well for periodic entries around exchanges or notable events.
- From the app you can export a PDF for any date range. The export is formatted with neutral structure and clear dates, suitable for sharing with attorneys, mediators, or other professionals.
