Is this legal advice? Will a court accept our records?

The straight answer to the question we're asked most.

No, and we can't promise. We're not a law firm, nothing here is legal advice, and no software can tell you how a particular judge in a particular case will treat a particular record.

What we can honestly say

  • Entries can't be edited or deleted, by either parent or by us.
  • Each entry is fingerprinted with the one before it, so any change breaks the chain.
  • The chain is timestamped daily by an independent authority.
  • Anyone can verify an export at calmhandoff.com/verify, without an account.

That's a strong evidentiary story and it's why people use the app. It is not the same as a guarantee about admissibility, and you should be wary of any co-parenting app that offers you one.

Ask your attorney what they need. If they want something specific from the record, support can tell you whether it's available.
