Making Custody and Parent Time Easier: Introducing Blakelock Law’s Custody and Parent Time Workbook
To go through a custody or parent-time fight is intimidating to any parent. With the emotional pressure, paperwork, and court deadline anxiety, it's easy to become confused and uncertain about what evidence will be most crucial. That’s why Utah family law attorney Megan Blakelock, serving clients across Orem City and nearby areas, created the Custody and Parent Time Workbook, an easy, step-by-step workbook that will take the guesswork out of what information you should focus on and what evidence should be provided to your attorney.
What Is the Custody and Parent Time Workbook?
The Custody and Parent Time Workbook is a step-by-step legal workbook that guides parents through the specific custody factors that the court will be examining in child custody and parent-time cases. Instead of leaving you to decipher the Utah Code, the workbook provides you with clear instructions, evidence prompts, and secure upload features that enable you to keep it all in one location and accessible to your attorney.
Each section covers a category of legal factors the court considers, including:
Safety of the child (domestic violence, neglect, or unsafe environment)
Developmental needs (education, health, and stability)
Parental involvement (day-to-day care, communication, and co-parenting)
Any other relevant factors (extended family relationship, history of care, and stability)
This template ensures the evidence you provide is specifically tailored to what matters most, the best interest of your child.
Why Parents Love This Resource
Parents in Orem City using the workbook often share how much easier it made the process, helping them stay organised and confident throughout their custody case. Here’s why:
1. Clarity on What Evidence Matters
You’ll know exactly what documents, records, or logs to gather; whether that’s police reports, school attendance records, or communication logs.
2. Secure Uploads for Attorneys
Instead of losing papers or screenshots, the workbook allows you to upload documents straight into a private folder your lawyer has access to.
3. Tell-the-Story Timelines
With the option of charts, bullet points, calendars, or fill-in-the-blanks, you can maintain concise records of events such as missed parent-time, denied custody exchanges, or communication breakdowns.
4. Court Preparation Confidence
No more wondering if you’ve missed something. The workbook organizes your evidence so your case is ready for temporary orders, mediation, or trial.
Protecting Children Throughout the Process
Blakelock Law’s workbook also includes a critical disclaimer: children should never be turned into “evidence.” The court looks poorly on attempts to pressure children for information or otherwise involve them in your litigation. Instead, the workbook guides parents toward safe, ethical, and legally appropriate evidence gathering.
This helps keep the focus where it belongs, on creating a safe, stable, and loving environment for your child.
