# Practical resources for parents and the professionals supporting them

Three simple organisation tools you can use or share with clients. They are free to open and download, require no account, and ask for no personal information online. Choose the parts that suit the conversation; your own intake, advice and requirements remain the guide.

## A fictional sample walkthrough

The following public product screenshots show fictional family information. They illustrate screens, not a real client or an actual professional report. The layout may vary by device and version.

1. **Find the relevant family week.** The [sample Home screen](https://assets.custodycompanion.org/website-media/a5a5c2e73be73fbd23bda96543a33fafa648d09d48e82e93d4753ff3d0ba576e/image.png) shows a care-period overview and a route to exact times in Calendar.
2. **Keep supporting files findable.** The [sample Documents screen](https://assets.custodycompanion.org/website-media/db956be82e890129c4df65f07ba6505acadee712154e79e788d30c35947abccc/image.png) shows folders and sample care/school files.
3. **Review selected material.** The [sample Reports screen](https://assets.custodycompanion.org/website-media/fb7d192941981a52e173e792cae81bbf07387bdee0c738aa6281cc53c8a35437/image.png) shows a saved sample report and the report controls. Reports are a paid capability; check current limits and review original records before relying on a summary.

Custody Companion brings family schedules, communication, records and peer support into one connected workspace. A parent can start independently; inviting a co-parent is optional. A parent controls what they export or share. The app does not replace professional judgement or provide legal advice, and does not guarantee a legal outcome or acceptance of a record.
