Free Child Custody Exchange Incident Log PDF

Document dates, times, and issues during custody exchanges in a neutral PDF log for mediators or judges.

Published December 3, 2025

Keep a calm, factual exchange log so you can show patterns like late arrivals or no-shows without editorializing.

When to use this

  • Exchanges are late, missed, or contentious and you need documentation.
  • You’re preparing for mediation, a review hearing, or to modify parenting time.
  • You want to show a neutral record of who was present and how the children were impacted.

How to do it (fast)

  1. Record the scheduled date/time, location, and who was present for each exchange.
  2. Describe what happened in factual terms (on-time, late, no-show, conflict).
  3. Note any police involvement or report numbers and brief impact on the children.
  4. Generate the PDF and share it with your attorney, mediator, or the court as needed.

Why this helps

  • Shows patterns of late or missed exchanges in one place.
  • Keeps notes neutral so they’re credible with judges and mediators.
  • Helps professionals quickly understand risks or needed safeguards for exchanges.
