Alimentor

Child Custody Tracker, Calendar & Evidence Organizer

Striving for fair co‑parenting? Facing a high‑conflict custody case? When plans change and details live in different places, even a truthful account can be difficult to reconstruct. What if spending 3‑5 minutes a day could turn that scattered history into concise, court‑ready documentation?

Alimentor child custody documentation tools on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Alimentor works independently, without requiring your co‑parent to use it.

"Alimentor is the affordable number one option for parents who have found themselves on the wrong side of a custody matter."

—California Marriage and Family Therapist Review

One‑time purchase. No subscription fees.

Organize the Facts. Document the Pattern.

High-conflict co-parenting can make an accurate history surprisingly difficult to explain. Peace of mind begins with knowing every relevant detail is organized and within reach.

Record What Happened

Keep parenting time, call history, expenses, reimbursements, and notes together.

Keep Evidence Attached

Connect every receipt, photo, email, or PDF document to the event it supports.

Compare Plan and Reality

Record what was planned and what actually happened, down to changed dates, late pickups, no-shows, and extra care.

Assign Custody Factors

Categorize relevant events with custody factors, then bring them together in a Best Interests of the Child report.

Demonstrate the Pattern

Let parenting-time hours, overnights, timeshare percentages, calls, and reimbursement balances add up.

Create Court-Ready Reports

Generate relevant, well-organized reports with calendars, totals, journal entries, photos, and attachments.

Start wherever you are: working out your first parenting plan, preparing for mediation or court, or recording repeated departures from an existing order. Alimentor turns everyday entries into an organized custody history, ready for your lawyer, a mediator, or a judge to review.

Your Custody Calendar, in Context

When your co‑parenting schedule sits apart from school, work, travel, and family events, conflicts are easy to miss. Alimentor brings those schedules together in one unified calendar.

Custody Calendar

Reduce Scheduling Conflicts

Before making new plans, scan the calendar for crowded days and overlapping events. Color-coded bars show how long each event lasts, making available time easier to find.

Printable Calendar Reports

Create detailed reports with calendars showing planned, completed, and canceled parenting time and calls.

At the bottom, you’ll find totals for scheduled versus actual parenting hours, overnights, timeshare percentages, and call durations—all in a report ready to print or email.

View at Work. Share Flexibly.

Automatically publish Alimentor events to external calendars such as Google Calendar or Outlook, so you can view custody dates in your company calendar or share them with others, including people using Android or Windows.

Planned vs. Actual

What was supposed to happen—and what actually happened? Keep both versions in the same record, whether you are documenting parenting time, a call, an expense, or a reimbursement.

Keep the Plan Beside the Outcome

Enter planned dates, times, durations, and amounts to record what was agreed. If the outcome differs, add the actual details while they are still clear—whether it was a changed exchange, late pickup, no-show, missed parent-child call, or unpaid reimbursement.

Flag Changes Made Without Agreement

When a change happens without your agreement, use the disagreement flag, add a brief, factual note, and attach any supporting evidence to the same record.

Comparison Reports with Totals

Generate reports with detailed lists of individual deviations and summary tables of totals and differences—organized for attorney review, mediation, or court preparation.

Custody Schedule Calculations

Parenting Time Tracker

Need an accurate parenting time tracker—not just a schedule? Log visits as they happen and review actual parenting hours, overnights, and custodial timeshare for any period you need.

Child Visitation Log Record

Start With or Without a Parenting Plan

Create detailed visitation schedules using recurring events, or log visits as they happen if you don’t have a set plan.

Adjust individual visit dates and times to reflect agreed one‑time changes without disrupting your regular schedule.

Capture Each Visit

After parenting time takes place, add the actual dates and times. Include a brief, factual note or attach a photo to create a visitation log that captures more than the calendar alone.

You can also save a GPS‑stamped pickup or drop‑off location to strengthen your supporting evidence.

Calculate Hours, Overnights & Timeshare

Instantly calculate parenting‑time percentages by hours and by overnights. Use them to compare schedule options or estimate how changes in custodial timeshare could affect child‑support calculations. Learn more →

Child Expense & Reimbursement Tracker

Who paid, what is due, and what has not been reimbursed? Keep child-related expenses, receipts, reimbursement balances, and support payments in one place.

Track What Was Paid and What Is Due

Enter upcoming childcare, school, or medical costs in advance and set reminders for important due dates.

Once paid, update the expense with the actual payment so settled and pending items remain easy to manage.

Manage Reimbursements

For shared expenses, track the reimbursement due from the other parent and the payment received.

Keep Supporting Evidence With Each Expense

Attach receipts, invoices, payment confirmations, photos, and PDFs to the expense they support, storing everything together.

 iOS  Use the built‑in document scanner to capture receipts and other paper documents directly in Alimentor.

Tracking Child Raising Expenses

Parent-Child Call History

If phone or video calls are part of your parenting arrangement, the details matter. Log planned and actual dates, times, and durations—including unanswered or canceled calls—to build a well-documented history of parent-child communication.

Logged Call Record

Plan Calls and Log Outcomes

Set up your call schedule with recurring events. After each conversation, enter the actual time and duration so differences are documented.

 iOS  Add your child’s contact details in Alimentor to quickly start a call directly from the app. When that call ends, Alimentor automatically updates date and duration.

When Scheduled Calls Don’t Happen

Log unanswered attempts and calls that were never made, showing whether contact was attempted and whether you were able to speak with your child.

Call History in Custody Reports

When questions arise about parent‑child contact, use the calendar, a call‑by‑call list, and duration totals to show how communication unfolded over time.

Custody Factors & Best‑Interests Documentation

How do you organize custody evidence around the issues family courts consider? Use custody factors to structure your records around the best‑interests analysis used to evaluate parenting arrangements.

Organize with Custody Factors

When an entry relates to an issue considered in your custody case, assign the relevant factor from Alimentor’s built‑in, searchable list of almost 60 common custody factors, each supported by clear, practical guidelines.

Use custom hashtags alongside custody factors to fine-tune how your records are organized.

Speed Up Legal Preparation

Attend attorney meetings, mediation sessions, or court hearings with a searchable database of your supporting evidence and Best Interests of the Child reports.

Filter and Customize

Use filters, hashtags, and custom section titles to focus on specific topics and time periods. Include only what matters instead of handing over your entire history.

Spreadsheet Export

Export data in Excel format for custom calculations, charts, or further analysis.

Privacy‑First iCloud Storage

Your custody history can span years. Keep it protected and under your control.

Automatic iCloud Backup

Alimentor automatically backs up your records in Apple‑managed iCloud storage, so years of documentation can be recovered if your device is lost, damaged, or replaced.

Keep Your Devices in Sync

If you use Alimentor on more than one Apple device, changes made on one appear automatically on the others, so your history stays up to date across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Learn more about syncing →

Share Securely with Others

Alimentor works independently, so sharing is always optional. If your co‑parent or a family member also uses Alimentor, you can share your database with them through iCloud. Learn more about sharing →

Auto‑Sync to External Calendars

You can automatically publish Alimentor events to external calendars such as Google Calendar or Outlook, making your records easy to view on other devices—for example, your work computer or your co‑parent’s Android phone. Learn about CalSync →
