Every parent's quest: the full picture · for custody cases
Be the calm one. With receipts.
When the process is used to wear you down, stay steady. KidKept keeps the people, messages, records and dates of your children's lives in one private place: organized, sourced, and ready for your attorney.
- Private by default
- You own your data
- No ads, no selling, no AI training
Sound familiar?
The process can be built to exhaust you.
Cost, delay and confusion do a lot of damage before anyone looks at the facts. You can't control the other side. You can control your record.
Outspent
The other side can afford more hours, more motions and more experts. Every hour your attorney spends sorting paper is an hour you pay for.
Delayed
Continuances, missed deadlines and slow answers stretch a case for months. Details fade, and the story gets harder to tell.
Buried in paperwork
Texts, emails, school portals, doctor notes, receipts and orders scattered across phones, inboxes and shoeboxes.
He-said-she-said
Without a dated, sourced record, it comes down to whose version sounds better that day. Your kids deserve better than that.
How it works
Three steps from scattered to organized.
- 01
Name your people
Add your children with their ages, the co-parent, step-family, doctors, therapists, teachers, schools, attorneys, the GAL and evaluators. Tag them in anything.
- 02
Drop in everything
PDFs, Word docs, emails, text exports, photos, audio and video. Each original is fingerprinted, dated and tagged with the people in it.
- 03
See the patterns, share the brief
Timelines, compliance rates, care delays and message patterns, all traced to sources. Export a brief or share a scoped packet with your attorney.
What's inside
Everything a custody record needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Built around the questions attorneys, GALs and evaluators actually ask: what happened, when, who was there, and how do you know.
People and tags
Everyone in your children's lives in one place, with roles, contact details and every entry they appear in.
Journal and timeline
Quick, dated notes as things happen. A clean timeline that reads the way attorneys and judges think.
Evidence Vault
PDFs, docs, emails, texts, images, audio and video. SHA-256 fingerprint of each original, dates and people detected automatically.
Message patterns
Volume, follow-up bursts, reply times, tone and courtesy markers, measured with published word lists you can inspect.
Exchange log
Log each possession exchange as on time, late or missed. Compliance rates build themselves.
Care tracker
Recommended care against completed care: days of delay, follow-ups kept and missed, and who was told when.
Money ledger
Support paid, expense requests and reimbursements, with receipts attached and balances that add up.
Lifecycle and Gap Finder
Know what to keep at each stage, what you can request yourself, and which records are still missing.
Secure sharing
Scoped, expiring, passphrase-encrypted packets for your attorney, GAL or evaluator, with sign-offs on both ends.

Case lifecycle guide
Know where you are. Know what comes next.
Most parents don't have a big record until discovery. KidKept meets you at your stage: what to keep now, what you can request yourself, and what usually only arrives through discovery.

- Stage 02A case is filedTypically days to weeks
- Stage 03Temporary ordersTypically 2–8 weeks after filing
- Stage 04DiscoveryTypically 2–6 months
- Stage 05Evaluations & GALTypically 2–6 months
- Stage 06MediationTypically 1–2 days
- Stage 07Final hearing, trial or arbitrationTypically 1–5 days
- Stage 08After the orderTypically ongoing
Gap Finder looks at what's in your file and suggests the records that would answer open questions, the way an experienced paralegal would.
Privacy and ownership
It's your family's story. It stays yours.
You decide what gets shared, with whom, and for how long. Shares need your sign-off and the recipient's promise of confidentiality.
You own it
Your record belongs to you. Export everything or delete everything, any time.
Local-first
In the prototype, your data lives in your own browser. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to.
No ads. No selling.
We never sell your data or use it for advertising. Not now, not in the fine print.
No training
Your record is never used to train AI models. AI analysis is opt-in, file by file.
A note from the founders
Built by a dad who's living it.
I know what it's like to sit across from a bigger legal budget and wonder whether the facts will ever get a fair look. To wait months for a hearing that gets moved again. To keep screenshots in one place, receipts in another, and the whole story in your head.
Getting angry doesn't help the kids. Being organized does. We built KidKept so parents can stay steady, keep an honest record, and walk into every meeting with their attorney knowing exactly what happened and where the proof is.
Is KidKept legal advice?
Where is my data stored?
Will this help me win?
Is it just for dads?
What kinds of files can I add?
How does the AI part work?
Can I record calls or conversations?
How do I share with my attorney or the GAL?
Strike out steady.
Honor, patience, and receipts. Facts over noise. Open the demo case to see a full file in two minutes, or start your own. It stays in your browser until you decide otherwise.
