Published November 21, 2025
When custody or visitation is in dispute, judges often want a clear pattern—not just your memory. This free visitation log lets you record each visit, missed exchange, and issue in a format that prints cleanly for court.
When to use this
- You need to document a history of late pickups, missed visits, or no-shows.
- You’re preparing for mediation, a custody hearing, or modification of an existing order.
- Your attorney asked you to keep a detailed visitation journal.
How to do it (fast)
- Fill in the case caption, court name, and case number (if available).
- Add each visit: date, start/end time, location, and which parent was responsible.
- Note any missed visits, safety concerns, or issues in the incident column.
- Download the PDF and print it for your hearing, mediation, or attorney meeting.
Why this helps
- Gives the court a neutral, chronological record instead of a ‘he said/she said’ summary.
- Makes it easier for your lawyer to spot patterns in missed or problematic visits.
- Shows you’re organized and serious about following the parenting plan.
