THE PROBLEM
Everyone going through a custody or family-law situation gets the same advice: "Document everything." Almost nobody gets told how. Screenshots pile up in your camera roll. Texts get buried. Notes end up scattered across three different apps. By the time you actually need something, you can't find it — or you can't prove when it happened.
Burden of Proof is a practical answer to "okay, but how." Document what happens. Keep it organized. Track the costs of raising your children. Build the report you need — all in one place, on your own phone, without a subscription.

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT
DOCUMENT EVERY EVENT, ONCE Record what happened — a missed exchange, a schedule change, a school issue, a medical appointment, a communication problem — and Burden of Proof organizes it automatically. You type it once. It shows up everywhere it needs to.
- Documentation Log with automatic Log IDs
- Timeline — every entry organized by date
- Evidence Index — every entry with evidence, organized separately
- Documentation Categories — everything grouped by type
- Attach photos and screenshots, with automatic detection of when a photo was actually taken (not just when you added it)
- Track multiple children, each with a completely separate log, timeline, and numbering — nothing gets mixed together
TRACK WHAT'S ORDERED, SCHEDULED, AND ACTUAL This is the core of Burden of Proof: most tools only capture what you write down. Burden of Proof keeps three layers side by side — in both the mobile app and the Excel workbook, with the setup adapted to fit each.
In the mobile app:
- Set up your actual custody calendar using a pattern — alternating weeks, 2-2-3, weekdays with alternating weekends, or day-by-day
- A real calendar, color-coded by parent, that you can correct on any single day for swaps, holidays, or changes — no re-entering the whole schedule
- New entries automatically show whose day it was, pulled straight from your calendar
- If a day didn't go as scheduled, note who actually had the child — with the option to update your calendar to match
- Tag entries with a specific exchange-related incident type: late drop-off, late pickup, no-show, incident during exchange, phone call not answered, denied parenting time, and more
In the Excel workbook:
- A Custody Schedule sheet where you log, day by day, who actually had the child
- A Court Order sheet where you record your order's terms once — case information, and who the order says should have custody each day of the week
- A Variance sheet that automatically compares the two and flags any day that doesn't match
Both versions record the schedule from your actual court order separately from your day-to-day record, and both produce a Variance comparison automatically — no manual comparison needed. Neither version decides whether a difference is a legal violation, assigns fault, or provides legal advice. Agreed changes, holidays, and makeup time are common — this shows you patterns in your own records, not a legal conclusion.
KEEP CHILD EXPENSES ORGANIZED IN THE SAME PLACE
- Assign every expense to a specific child
- Record the category, date, and amount
- Track who paid, and whether it was a shared expense
- Record the percentage or amount expected back from the other parent, and reimbursement due dates
- Record what's actually been received
- See Outstanding, Partial, or Reimbursed status at a glance
- A simple dashboard shows Total Paid by Me, Total Paid by Other Parent, Total Received/Reimbursed, and what's Currently Outstanding
- Filter by child, category, payer, shared status, reimbursement status, or date
BUILD THE REPORT YOU ACTUALLY NEED
- Quick Report, Full Report, or a Custom Report where you choose exactly what's included
- Export to PDF, Excel, or CSV whenever you need to share or preserve your records
- The full Excel workbook is included alongside the mobile version — use whichever fits the moment

PRIVACY, BUILT IN FROM THE START
- No account or sign-up required
- Your documentation is designed to stay stored locally on your device or browser — not uploaded to a Burden of Proof server
- Photos and screenshots are stored locally too
- Export regularly to keep your own backup — clearing your browser can delete anything you haven't exported

WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone who needs a structured way to keep a record — parents navigating custody arrangements, co-parenting situations, or any family-law matter where clear, organized documentation matters. Whether your situation is straightforward or complicated, Burden of Proof is built to flex to what you actually need to track.
────────────────────────────
WHAT BURDEN OF PROOF IS NOT
Burden of Proof is a documentation and organization tool. It is not legal advice, and it does not determine what evidence is legally relevant, sufficient, or admissible in a particular case. It does not determine legal responsibility, interpret your custody order, or decide whether a difference between your order and your records is a violation. Consult a qualified attorney regarding your specific situation.
