CompletedCustody and co-parenting calendars
One calendar for parenting time, exchanges, and the details around them.
A custody calendar dashboard brings the regular rotation, holiday rules, vacation blocks, school dates, upcoming exchanges, and the notes you choose to keep into one understandable view. It is built around your schedule and your terminology, as a custom project for your household.
Organizes information you enter or import. It does not track another person, monitor a device, or collect live location data.

One view instead of scattered messages, notes, and a calendar nobody fully trusts.
The problem
Parenting schedules usually live in several places at once: a shared calendar, text threads, a parenting plan, school emails, and a spreadsheet or two. Answering a basic question, such as who has the Friday after a holiday or what was agreed about a changed exchange, means checking all of them. A custody calendar dashboard puts the rules, the exceptions, and the record in one place, so the answer is the same every time you look.
Representative dashboard
The month, the rules behind it, and the record of what happened.
This example uses entirely fictional names, dates, and events. It shows the kinds of information a custom custody calendar can organize. Your dashboard follows your schedule, your parenting plan's terminology, and the recordkeeping your situation actually needs.

Needs confirmation · Sunday, September 27
The vacation block ends Sunday. A return exchange at 6:00 PM was proposed on September 12 and has not been confirmed by the other household. Until it is, the calendar shows the day as unresolved and leaves that night out of the percentage below.
- Confirm 6:00 PM, or
- Record a different agreed time, or
- Extend the vacation block to the regular Monday 8:00 AM exchange.

All names, dates, rules, and events above are fictional. Exchange tracking means organizing details that a user enters or imports. It does not track another person, monitor a device, or collect live location data. Each dashboard is a custom build; the panels shown are examples of what can be included, not a hosted product you can sign up for on this site.
What can be included
Built around the schedule you actually follow.
Use only the parts that help. The goal is a dependable view, not more recordkeeping than your situation requires. Every item below is something a custom build can include; your project decides which ones.
Rotation, holidays, and vacations
Common patterns such as alternating weeks, 2-2-3, or a weekday and weekend split, plus custom rotations. Holiday rules by name, with alternating or odd-and-even years and holiday-specific times. Vacation blocks that override the rotation. Clear precedence, so it is always visible which rule produced a given day.
Times, places, and what happened
Exchange date, time, location, who is responsible, notes, and directions. Planned, completed, changed, missed, or canceled status, entered by you. Location details can be limited to the people you choose to share the dashboard with.
School and activity calendars
School days, breaks, teacher workdays, early dismissals, closures, and activities, imported from the school's calendar where one is published. Dates that affect an exchange are flagged next to the exchange, not buried in a separate list.
Overlaps and gaps, explained
Double-booked periods, a vacation that overlaps a holiday rule, a proposed change that has not been confirmed, uncovered time, and duplicate entries are flagged with the reason and the choices for resolving them. Nothing changes silently.
Time summaries with the method shown
Overnight counts and percentages for any date range, with the counting rule, time zone, inclusions, exclusions, and rounding stated next to the number. Month, week, agenda, and year views, and a printable or exportable summary when you need one.
Reminders, notes, and references
Reminders for exchanges, schedule changes, school events, and open items, on the channel and timing you choose. Notes and reference documents attached to the date or rule they explain. Standards-based calendar export (iCalendar) where it fits, without publishing private details by default.
How it works
Start with the way you keep track now.
A shared calendar, spreadsheet, written schedule, or plain-language explanation is enough to begin. Redacted or fictional sample data can be used for the whole first review.
Describe the schedule
The repeating rotation, holiday rules, vacation practice, exchange routine, and where the information lives today.
Choose what to record
The dates, times, statuses, notes, reminders, and summaries that would make the calendar useful, and nothing more.
Build the view
The calendar, exchange record, and summaries are designed around your terminology, your parenting plan's rules, and how you actually use it.
Review and refine
Test the dashboard against real months, including holidays and a vacation, and adjust anything that creates ambiguity or extra work.
Direct answers
What the calendar does, and what it does not.
DeLong Analytics builds organization and visualization tools. It does not provide legal advice, custody recommendations, mediation, or court services.
What can a custody calendar dashboard show?
The regular parenting-time rotation, holiday rules and which household a holiday falls to this year, vacation blocks, school dates that affect exchanges, each exchange's time, place, and status, reminders, notes, reference documents, and an overnight summary for any date range. Every item is information you enter or import.
How are holiday overrides handled?
Each holiday is a named rule with its own start and end times and an alternation pattern, such as even and odd years. Holiday rules override the base rotation, vacation blocks override both, and one-time agreed changes override everything. The calendar shows which rule produced each day, so a surprising date can be traced back to its cause.
How is the parenting-time percentage calculated?
Each night is assigned to the household where the child sleeps, counted at midnight in your time zone. The summary states the date range, the overrides included, any unresolved nights excluded, and the rounding used. It is an informational summary of your own calendar, not a legal determination, and it does not calculate child support or interpret a court order.
Does exchange tracking monitor another person or their location?
No. The dashboard does not surveil another person, track a device, or collect live location data. It organizes schedule and exchange information that you provide.
Can you use my current calendar or spreadsheet?
Often, yes. The first review identifies the format, the repeating schedule, the exceptions, and the history worth preserving. The dashboard may use an export, a structured workbook, or a workflow designed for simple manual updates.
Does this replace a court order or a required co-parenting app?
No. The dashboard is an organizational tool. It does not modify a court order, guarantee that a record will be accepted as evidence, or replace legal advice. Communication or recordkeeping systems required by your order or agreement should continue to be used.
How is family calendar data protected?
The public website collects nothing about your schedule: the contact form prepares an email in your own mail app and stores no fields. For a custom build, where the dashboard runs, who can open it, and how it is protected are decided with you during scoping and stated plainly in the project. We do not claim certifications or guarantees we have not established.
Do I need to share sensitive details in the first message?
No. Start with a general description, a redacted example, or fictional data. Do not include children's full names, court documents, case numbers, or other sensitive case details in the website form.
