Custody Journal vs OurFamilyWizard
If you need both parents inside one shared communication platform, OurFamilyWizard may make more sense. If what you actually need is a faster way to document incidents, exchanges, school problems, expenses, photos, and supporting evidence on your own, Custody Journal is the cleaner fit.
What matters
Custody Journal
OurFamilyWizard
Works if only one parent uses it
Yes. Built around solo logging and record-building from day one.
Strongest when both parents participate in the same shared platform.
Fast incident and timeline logging
Quick journal entries, exchange records, school logs, communication logs, expenses, photos, documents, and attachments under one case.
Offers records and documentation tools, while public positioning leads with shared co-parenting workflows more than solo incident capture.
Shared calendar and scheduling depth
Includes custody calendar events and exchange tracking, but that is not the main wedge.
Stronger dedicated scheduling depth with a shared co-parent calendar and related coordination tools.
Documented communication record
Communication logs, school logs, attachments, and report-style summaries help keep the factual record organized.
Documented messaging with first-viewed timestamps and downloadable records are core public features.
Evidence organization beyond messages
Puts incidents, exchanges, school records, expenses, photos, documents, and summaries into one chronology.
Strong on communication, scheduling, and expense workflows, but less centered on solo evidence assembly as the lead story.
Price shape
Start free with no credit card. Pro is $14.99/month or $119.88/year billed annually.
Public 1-year plans currently show $110, $149.99, $216, and $299.88 billed annually, depending on tier.
Best fit
Dads in high-conflict custody who need a clean factual record fast.
Co-parents already operating inside a shared communication, scheduling, and payment system.

OurFamilyWizard fits when
Everyone needs one shared system.
If the court, attorneys, or both parents already expect one shared communication platform with built-in scheduling, messaging, and payments, OurFamilyWizard may be the better choice.
