Incident Documentation for Custody Cases
Document every incident with the precision that family courts require. Structured fields, timestamps, evidence attachments, and AI-powered pattern detection help you build a comprehensive record.
Every Detail Matters in Court
In custody disputes, the difference between "they were late sometimes" and "on March 15, 2024, at 6:47 PM, the scheduled 6:00 PM exchange was 47 minutes late" is the difference between an opinion and evidence.
CaseTime's incident documentation system provides structured fields to capture every important detail. Each incident is timestamped at creation, linked to relevant participants, and can include photos, screenshots, documents, and recordings.
- Automatic timestamps at creation time
- Structured fields: date, time, location, participants
- Attach photos, screenshots, documents, recordings
- Category and tag organization
- Significance and outcome tracking
- Verification status for evidence quality
What to Document in Every Incident
Date & Time
Specific timestamps, not approximations. "March 15 at 6:47 PM" is evidence. "Sometime last week" is not.
Location
Where did it happen? School pickup, your home, a public place? Specific locations add credibility.
Participants
Who was present? Who witnessed what? Track every person involved for accurate records.
Description
What happened? Stick to facts, not interpretations. Describe observable behavior and statements.
Evidence
Screenshots, photos, recordings, documents. Attach anything that supports your account.
Impact
How did this affect the children or custody arrangement? Document the significance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly should I document an incident?
Document incidents as soon as possible after they occur. Contemporaneous records (made at or near the time of the event) carry more weight in court than records created weeks or months later. CaseTime timestamps your entries at creation, establishing when the documentation was made.
What types of evidence can I attach?
You can attach photos, screenshots, PDF documents, and audio recordings to any incident. All files are stored securely in the cloud and linked to the specific incident. This keeps your evidence organized and accessible.
How does incident tracking help in court?
Consistent, detailed incident documentation demonstrates patterns of behavior over time. Instead of general statements, you can present specific, dated, evidenced records. This transforms opinions into evidence that courts can evaluate objectively.
Can I categorize and tag incidents?
Yes. CaseTime provides categories, types, subtypes, and custom tags for organizing incidents. This makes it easy to filter and find related incidents, and helps you see patterns across different types of events.
