Custody Binder

The details your family relies on, finally in one place.

Contacts, insurance, school and medical information, notes, and related files stay searchable in one Custody Binder—so there is less pressure to remember where everything lives.

Manual Binder items and Selected Binder PDF exports are included on Free. File uploads and custom card types start on Connect. Magic Tags start on Protect. Compare plans.

A calmer reference point

The detail is useful when you can find it.

A file folder can hold paperwork. The Custody Binder also keeps the context around it—the child, category, notes, visibility, and fields you may need again.

Stop searching across scattered places

Keep the contact, policy number, school detail, note, and related file with the Binder item it belongs to.

Find what you need by more than its filename

Search titles, fields, and notes, then filter by tag, child, category, visibility, or favorites.

Keep control of what becomes shared

Every new item starts private. In Collaborative Mode, you choose which items your co-parent can see.

Built for family information

Start with familiar cards. Shape the Binder around real life.

Use built-in cards for the details many families return to, then group everything into clear categories such as Health, Education, Activities, Contacts, Daily Life, Legal, Financial, Travel, and Other.

School and contacts

The people and places you call

Save school details and important contacts with structured fields instead of relying on memory or a message search.

Health

Insurance, allergies, visits, and prescriptions

Keep recurring medical details organized by child, with room for the notes that make the record useful later.

Your family

Flexible categories and custom cards

Organize daily life, activities, legal, financial, travel, and other details. Connected families on Connect and higher can add reusable custom card types.

Privacy by default

Share the item, not your whole filing cabinet.

New items start private. In Collaborative Mode, you can share an individual item when it is useful for your co-parent to have it. In Solo Mode, your Binder stays private to your account.

Your favorites and tags remain personal even on a shared item. Shared items keep an update history, and a Binder setting controls whether your co-parent can edit shared details.

Start with the essentials

A useful Binder on Free, with file tools when you need them.

The core organizer and selected Binder PDF export do not require a paid plan. Paid plans add file handling, flexible templates, and optional tagging assistance.

Included on Free

Manual items and selected PDF exports

Create, search, organize, favorite, and selectively share manual Binder items. Export selected item details and an attachment index as a PDF.

Connect and higher

Files, scans, and custom card types

Attach files from your device, camera, photo library, or document scanner. Connected families can also create reusable custom card types.

Protect and higher

Optional private Magic Tags

Get suggested organizational tags for an uploaded file. The suggestions stay private and do not populate Binder fields for you.

Your earlier documents

Older Shared Docs move forward with you.

BestInterest carries earlier Shared Docs into the Custody Binder and automatically migrates eligible files into regular shared Binder items.

Once migrated, documents can be edited or deleted according to ownership and shared-editing permissions. Preserved frozen snapshots remain read-only.

Built-in card types cover contacts, insurance, school details, allergies, doctor visits, and prescriptions. You can also organize notes and, on Connect or higher, related files and reusable custom card types.

Can I scan or upload a document?

Yes. Connect, Protect, and Protect Plus include file uploads from your device, camera, photo library, or document scanner. File uploads are attached to Binder items so the context stays with the file.

Are my tags and favorites shared?

No. Your Binder tags and favorites are personal organizing tools. They remain private even when the underlying Binder item is shared.

What do Binder Magic Tags do?

Magic Tags are an optional Protect feature that suggests private organizational tags. They do not extract facts from a file into Binder fields, and the suggestions are not shared with your co-parent.

What happens to older Shared Docs?

Older Shared Docs are carried into the Custody Binder and eligible files are migrated into regular shared Binder items. You can edit or delete documents you own; documents created by your co-parent follow the Binder's shared-editing permissions. Preserved frozen snapshots stay read-only.
