Purpose-built for high-conflict cases

The co-parenting app for high-conflict cases.

When co-parenting turns adversarial, the record is everything. CustodyTrac is built to produce a tamper-proof, court-ready record of every message, exchange, and incident — with per-person read receipts, append-only history, and one-click PDF legal exports. Free for both parents.

100% free — no credit card, no trial, no paywall
High-conflict co-parenting messages with per-person read receipts

Per-person read receipts

'Read by Maya' — proof each parent has seen each message. Ends 'I never got that' arguments.

Append-only, no deletions

No one can edit or delete a message, transfer, or incident once posted. Ever.

Court-ready in one click

Export every module as a timestamped PDF ready for your attorney, mediator, or judge.

Why high-conflict co-parenting needs a specialized app

Regular messaging apps fail high-conflict families in three predictable ways: messages can be deleted, screenshots can be doctored, and there's no proof the other parent ever saw a critical schedule change. In court, "I texted him" is not evidence — a screenshot without an audit trail is easily challenged.

CustodyTrac is engineered specifically for these situations. Every message, schedule change, transfer check-in, expense, and incident is stored in an append-only ledger that neither parent can edit or delete after posting. Every entry carries a server-side timestamp accurate to the second and a full audit trail attorneys can use to authenticate the record.

The four high-conflict tools that actually matter

1. Per-person read receipts. In a normal messenger, you know a message was 'read' but not by whom. CustodyTrac shows 'Read by Maya' — per person, per message. In a three-plus-person thread (you, ex, step-parent), you know exactly who has and hasn't seen the schedule change.

2. Timestamped transfer log. Every pick-up and drop-off gets a check-in with a server-side timestamp and (optionally) GPS confirmation. Missed and late exchanges are documented automatically, without you having to remember to write it down after the fact.

3. Severity-tagged incident reports. Contemporaneous incident reports are the gold standard of evidence for family courts. CustodyTrac gives you a structured, append-only incident log with severity tags, attached photos, and a running index — everything a family-law attorney needs to build a case.

4. One-click PDF legal exports. When mediation or a court date arrives, export the whole record — messages, calendar, transfers, expenses, incidents — as timestamped PDFs in seconds. Free. Unlimited.

Designed to reduce conflict, not just record it

Because everything is on the record, both parents tend to communicate more carefully — knowing that whatever they say is timestamped and preserved. Swap requests replace demanding texts. Structured expense entries replace arguments over who owes what. Calendar overrides replace verbal promises that get 'forgotten.'

Many high-conflict co-parents report that within a few weeks of adopting CustodyTrac, the tone of communication improves — not because either parent changed, but because the medium changed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best co-parenting app for high conflict?
For high-conflict cases you need three things a normal messenger can't provide: (1) proof each parent has read each message, (2) an append-only history that no one can edit or delete, and (3) court-ready PDF exports on demand. CustodyTrac provides all three — free — plus a dedicated attorney portal and severity-tagged incident reports.
What co-parenting app is monitored by the court?
Courts don't monitor apps in real time; instead, judges accept PDF reports and message transcripts from apps whose records they consider tamper-evident. CustodyTrac's timestamped, append-only logs and one-click PDF legal exports produce exactly that kind of record — accepted by family-law attorneys and mediators nationwide.
How does CustodyTrac help with a narcissistic ex?
Per-person read receipts stop the 'I never got your message' pattern. Append-only history prevents backdating or selective deletion. Timestamped transfer check-ins document missed or late exchanges automatically. And incident reports let you record concerning behavior contemporaneously — the exact evidence courts look for.
Can I use CustodyTrac if my ex refuses to sign up?
Yes. You can still log your own transfer check-ins, incident reports, and expense entries, and the record is timestamped and defensible on its own. When your co-parent joins later, the shared timeline expands automatically.
Are CustodyTrac records admissible in court?
Admissibility is decided by the court, but CustodyTrac produces the kind of evidence attorneys consistently rely on: timestamped, append-only, exportable, and with a clear chain of custody. Every export includes metadata attorneys can use to authenticate the record.
Is the high-conflict feature set free too?
Yes. Every feature — read receipts, incident reports, attorney portal, PDF exports — is free for both parents. Unlike paid apps that gate exports and history behind higher tiers, CustodyTrac doesn't put critical high-conflict tools behind a paywall.

Free for both parents. Forever.

Every CustodyTrac feature is available at no cost. No paywalls, no upsells, no locked reports.
