Free tools for separated parents
SplitDay Team · Updated · The calculators and builders run entirely in your browser
Ten free tools for parents who share custody after a separation or divorce: a quiz that matches a custody schedule to your family, a planner and a calendar export that put the schedule on your phone, a parenting plan builder, a calculator that splits the children’s costs, an email alert when custody law changes in your country, and a directory of family-law practices that write about shared custody. No account and no sign-up; the calculators and builders run in your browser and send nothing anywhere — only the alerts and directory forms transmit what you type into them.

Frequently asked questions
Are these tools free?
Yes. Every tool on this page is free to use, with no paid tier inside the tool, no sign-up and no usage limit. The SplitDay app is a separate product that is free to start; the tools work whether or not you ever install it.
Do I need an account or an email address?
No. None of the tools asks you to register. An email address appears only in the law-change alerts form, where it is the whole point — you are asking to be written to — and in the directory form, which practices use to claim or correct a listing.
Is anything I enter stored or sent anywhere?
The quiz, the calendar export, the parenting plan builder, the expense calculator and the planner run entirely in your browser and send nothing to a server; a few offer an optional “remember this in my browser” checkbox that saves to your device only. The alerts and directory forms are different by nature: what you type into them is submitted through the form service that runs this website, as described in the privacy policy.
Is this legal advice?
No. The tools compute, format and inform; they do not tell you what you are entitled to or what to do. Custody rules differ by country and by state, so before you rely on a result for a court filing or an agreement, consult a family-law attorney licensed where your case is heard.
The tools on this page are general information, not legal or financial advice. Before you act on a result in your own case, consult a family-law attorney licensed where your case is heard.
When the plan is agreed, SplitDay keeps it running
Set the pattern once in SplitDay and it keeps going — holidays, overrides, exchange reminders and a scoreboard built from what actually happened. Free, ad-supported, and it works even if only one parent uses it.
