Sunday Change Over
🔄 It’s changeover Sunday. Here’s what’s actually worth documenting.
Most parents either document everything in a panic or nothing at all. Both hurt you in court.
Here’s what genuinely matters if something happens today:
Document this immediately:
• Exact time the other parent arrived or failed to arrive
• What the child said unprompted, word for word, as soon as possible after
• Your child’s physical state (clothing, hygiene, visible marks, mood)
• Any witnesses present (neighbour, family member, new partner)
• Messages sent or received around the handover. Don’t delete, don’t edit.
What courts actually care about:
Courts look for patterns, not single incidents. One late pickup means nothing. Twelve documented late pickups with timestamps tells a story.
What to skip:
• Your emotional reaction. Keep it out of the notes.
• Interpretation like “he did it to upset me.” Just facts.
• Confrontations at handover. Never worth it, always documented against you.
The format that holds up:
Date. Time. Location. What happened. What was said. Who was present. Done.
If today brings anything, even something small, write it down tonight while it’s fresh.
