Create a custody calendar to stay organized

Grand Rapids, Mich. (WOTV) - Single moms with primary physical custody of the children need to keep track of important information surrounding custody issues. 

Use a wall or desk calendar to track support payments, visitation dates, pick-up and drop- off times and anything noteworthy that occurs between you, your ex and the kids. Writing this information in a single location will aide in establishing clear communication between you and your ex and help avoid conflicts. If issues do arise and you find you need to defend your custody, gain or remove parental rights, modify visitation or raise support amounts your documentation will be essential to your attorney.
