Why families compare 2houses and CustodyTrac

Families usually start with a calendar and then discover they also need a reliable way to record expenses, exchange changes, messages, and handoffs. CustodyTrac keeps those pieces connected so the schedule and the record tell the same story.

Feature-by-feature

  • Custody calendar — standard rotations, custom patterns, holidays, and swaps.
  • Expenses — split costs, receipts, reimbursement balance, and history.
  • Communication — timestamped messages with read receipts.
  • Transfers — time, location, on-time status, and actual parenting time.
  • Legal records — append-only audit trail and unlimited PDF exports.
  • Professional access — free read-only attorney and mediator portal.

When 2houses may still be a fit

If your family already has a 2houses account and it meets the order or professional guidance in your case, there may be no reason to switch. If you are choosing a tool now and want the full workflow free for both parents, CustodyTrac is a practical alternative.
