Know which document you are using
Keep the relevant signed agreement or court order available. California Courts offers guidance on reaching custody and parenting-time agreements; use your own jurisdiction’s resources for forms and process.
Make practical details specific
When reviewing the plan, look for ordinary care, holidays, exchanges, travel, communication, and how changes are handled. “After school” may need a fallback time for a school closure. Note questions that need clarification rather than silently filling in the gaps.
Keep the calendar and document distinct
CoFam can record the schedule, holidays, requests, and expense arrangements. Keep your written plan alongside that calendar, and review important changes through the process that applies to you.
Does editing CoFam amend a court order?
No. An app change is not a legal amendment.
What if the calendar and the written plan disagree?
Check the relevant document and get clarification; do not assume the app entry is authoritative.
