About this episode

Daniel Modern discusses the importance of documenting interactions during divorce and custody battles to provide evidence in court.

In this episode of Daddy Issues , I talk about one of the biggest mistakes I see dads make during divorce and custody battles waiting too long to document what happens. The truth alone isn't always enough in court. Judges weren't there, so they can only evaluate the evidence that's presented. I explain why recording important interactions (when it's legal), saving screenshots, taking photos, and keeping organized records can make a huge difference if your parenting is ever questioned. I also challenge dads to stop focusing on proving the other parent is wrong and instead focus on showing the court that they're the calm, prepared, and organized parent. I wrap up by explaining why I created CustodyLog and encourage every dad to start documenting today, because the evidence you don't collect now may be impossible to get later.
