Custody Documentation Kit

What is inside — the full list

• The Daily Documentation System — a dated daily parenting log (printable + spreadsheet versions): overnights, exchanges (happened / late / did not happen, time + place), caregiving acts, school and medical involvement, incidents stated factually. With the how-to-keep-it rules: contemporaneous, factual, no editorialising, how to correct an entry without destroying credibility, how far back to reconstruct (and how to label a reconstruction honestly — never backdate).
• Communication Records Protocol — one-channel written communication rules; the save-everything folder structure; how to log a phone call (date, time, what was agreed) immediately after it happens; message templates that are short, child-focused and court-readable (request, confirm, document — no argument templates); what never to put in writing; how to export/preserve texts without altering them.
• Factor-by-Factor Evidence Worksheets — for his state — one worksheet per factor in his state's verified list (statutory or case-law, labelled): what the factor means in plain words, what records speak to it (mapped to items 1–2), what he already has, what is missing, and a “do this in the next 30 days” action per factor. FL buyers get 20; CA buyers get the 4 §3011 considerations + §3020/§3044 modules; TX buyers get the 9 Holley worksheets labelled case-law; NY buyers get the Eschbach totality worksheets labelled case-law; IL buyers get both §602.5 and §602.7 sets; OH buyers get the 10 §3109.04(F)(1) worksheets + the shared-parenting (F)(2) set.
• The Kid Inventory — a structured “know your child” record: school, teachers, doctors, medications, sizes, friends, routines, fears, what works at bedtime/homework — the factual knowledge FL §61.13(3), TX Holley parental-abilities, and NY home-environment factors actually test.
• Filing First-Steps Pack — for his state — which case to open (divorce / paternity / SAPCR / allocation / parenting plan, in the state's term), the official court self-help link + form names, what happens at the first/temporary hearing, what to bring, and a timeline of a typical initial case. Links to official court pages only; a dated “links checked” stamp.
• Paternity First-Steps Pack (included for every buyer, routed in the checker) — per-state VAP/AOP/VDOP mechanics, where to sign/file, the 60-day rescission warning in bold, what to file when the other parent will not sign, and the “paternity ≠ a schedule — the order is the next step” page (§3, in plain words).
• Hearing-Day Preparation Pack — what to bring (exhibit copies, log excerpts, inventory), how exhibits from items 1–2 are organised by factor, courtroom conduct basics, and a questions-for-an-attorney worksheet for a one-hour consult (positioning the kit as preparation for counsel, not a replacement for counsel).

Nothing on this list is a summary or a sample. Each item is the finished artifact, ready to fill in and use.

Read this scope line before you pay: factor worksheets are full for the six deep states (Florida, Texas, California, New York, Illinois, Ohio). For the other seven launch states (Kentucky, Arkansas, West Virginia, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arizona), the kit ships the verified presumption status and decoding plus the full national documentation system, with factor detail labeled not-yet-published — exactly as the free state pages label it. Nothing is promised beyond that line.
