Terms of Service

Last updated: April 8, 2026

By using Parenting Time Calculator, you agree to the terms below. Most of this is standard "we're not your lawyer" language, but it matters, so please read it.

This is not legal advice

Parenting Time Calculator provides a calculator and a set of educational articles about parenting time, custody schedules, and child support. Everything on the site is for informational purposes only. Nothing you read here, and no result the calculator produces, should be treated as legal advice for your specific situation.

Family law varies significantly by state and even by county. The percentages and schedule structures we describe are accurate in a general sense, but your state's specific statutes, your judge's preferences, and the facts of your case can all change the answer. For any decision that has real financial or custody consequences, consult a licensed family law attorney in your jurisdiction.

Accuracy

We make a genuine effort to keep the math correct and the legal information current. We verify state-specific claims against official statutes and authoritative secondary sources before publishing. If you find something incorrect, please tell us at hello@parentingtimecalculator.com and we will fix it.

That said, we do not warrant that every calculation or statement on the site is perfect. You use the tool at your own risk. Double-check anything important against your state's official child support guidelines or your attorney's advice before relying on it.

What you can and cannot do with the site

You are welcome to use the calculator as often as you like, for free, without registering. You can link to any page on the site. You can share screenshots of your results with an attorney, a mediator, or your co-parent. You can quote short excerpts from the blog posts in your own writing, with attribution.

You cannot scrape the site to rebuild it as your own product, copy large blocks of the written content into a competing site, or claim our work as yours. The calculator's code, the written guides, and the design are the property of Parenting Time Calculator and its creators.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Parenting Time Calculator and its operators are not liable for any damages, financial loss, missed deadlines, or adverse court outcomes arising from your use of the site. The calculator is a math tool. It does not replace professional judgment, and we cannot be held responsible for decisions you make based on its output.

No attorney-client relationship

Reading articles on this site, running the calculator, or sending us a message at the contact address does not create an attorney-client relationship. We are not a law firm, we do not represent you, and we cannot protect any information you send us under attorney-client privilege.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site evolves. When that happens, the "Last updated" date at the top changes, and material updates are noted. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any dispute related to these terms or the site itself is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the United States.
