Dear friends,

Thank you for purchasing "Dad's Time Tracker". The Time Tracker was created to assist custodial and non-custodial fathers everywhere be the best fathers they can to be to their children. Keeping good records is essential to issues such as visitation rights, child support, and ensuring the rights of the father. The Time Tracker will ensure you organize your records in a convenient, easy-to-use, and understandable format. It is designed to capture parenting time, expenditures on the children, issues, child support payments, etc. Here you will fi nd everything you need to prove to others how much time you have spent with your child and how much money you have expended on their behalf.

The Time Tracker is your way of presenting proof of what is truly happening with you and your child. Make a habit of utilizing it every day so that it will become automatic. In this way, you will be assured of always being prepared should you need to be. I hope that you will not ever have to go to court, but if you do, you can rest assured that you are prepared.
