"I'm sharing this story because I almost lost 50/50 custody of my daughter.
I spent $18,200 on legal fees I didn't need to spend. I went through 14 months of hell—2 AM panics, emergency hearings, the sickening feeling of watching my ex build a case while I had nothing.
I don't want you to go through what I went through.
If this review saves even one dad from that panic, from those scrambles, from the fear of losing your kids because you can't prove what you know is true—every word is worth it.
This isn't marketing. This is me, eight months later, trying to help you avoid my mistakes."
— A Dad Who Almost Lost Everything
My attorney stopped mid-sentence.
We were in her office. Three days before the custody hearing. She'd asked—again—for "proof" I'd been on time for exchanges.
I pulled out my phone. Opened Attorney Engine CoPilot. Scrolled through six months of GPS-verified handoffs.
Every single one timestamped down to the second.
Every one confirmed by both parents.
Photos of my daughter at each pickup. Smiling. Sometimes holding her backpack. Sometimes showing me a drawing she made.
73 consecutive exchanges. Not one late. Not one missed.
My lawyer stared at the screen. For what felt like forever.
Then she looked up and said something I'll never forget:
"Where the hell did you get this?"
I told her the name of the app.
She wrote it down. Then:
"If every client had this, I'd make 70% less money. And I'd sleep better at night."
That evidence won me 50/50 custody.
Without it? I was looking at every-other-weekend. Maybe less.

What Made My Attorney's Eyes Go Wide
What Most Dads Show Up With
Messy Notes & Screenshots
- Hand-written notes ("I swear I was on time")
- Text screenshots (no verification)
- "My memory of what happened"
- Bank statements (if you kept them)
"I can't use this. You look just as bad."
What Made Her Stop Mid-Sentence
GPS Verified CoPilot Logs
- 73 GPS-verified handoffs (down to the second)
- Photos of daughter at each exchange
- Both parents' confirmations
- Court-admissible documentation
"Where the hell did you get this?"
THIS WON ME 50/50 CUSTODY
"The judge looked at my 73 handoffs and said, 'I'm not seeing frequently late here.'"
The Text Message That Almost Cost Me $4,200
I was furious. My ex had just texted me that she was "keeping the kids an extra night" because I was "unreliable."
I started typing a response. The kind you regret. The kind that gets read in court.
Then the app flagged it.
🚨 High Conflict Risk: 9/10
This message may escalate conflict and could be used against you in court proceedings.
The AI rewrote it for me. Same message. Same boundaries. Zero ammunition for her attorney.
That one prevented message saved me $4,200 in potential legal fees.

About This Review
This review was written by a divorced father of one daughter (age 7) who spent $18,200 in legal fees over 14 months before discovering comprehensive documentation tools. He won 50/50 custody after implementing GPS verification and evidence collection systems. He works in technology, lives in Colorado, and now advocates for early documentation in high-conflict co-parenting situations. He wishes he'd found this app on day one—before the panic, before the money, before almost losing equal time with his daughter.
