Shared Custody?

We’ve designed PlumLife to help manage life’s unexpected curve balls. Shared custody means shared communication. Let PlumLife keep your children’s calendars current with your ex by communicating for you.

Betsy

Blending a family with 6 children and sharing custody means you gotta be at the top of your game! Betsy and her husband, Frank maintain colorful lives both for themselves and their children. With children in college and at home, their lives are a whirlwind of activity. PlumLife’s smart calendar helps keep Betsy and Frank organized, their exes informed and those crucial kid-focused hours between 3pm and 6pm under control.  

With PlumLife’s layered calendars, Betsy is able to share information about her children with her ex; he only sees what he needs to know about their 3 children’s schedules (where to pick up, drop off and what time to be there.) Frank does the same for his ex: he shares 3 calendars with her, feeding her real-time information on all the details of their lives.

Entering the info once (but having it appear on many calendars) saves both Betsy and Frank countless hours of switching between windows and sending emails and texts, because PlumLife does it for them.  

Their children are taken care of and their exes are informed all courtesy of Plumlife.

Nancy

Nancy couldn’t really see how a computer calendar was saving her time because putting the event on the calendar was the easy part - communicating all the details with her ex was not. The real work begins after the event is scheduled - who’s driving the kids to the event, who’s picking them up, what do they need to wear? PlumLife special babysitter and driver fields allow her to fill in those details. 

Nancy and her very-involved ex-husband are short on time, so a calendar that’s smart and active wasn’t a luxury it was a necessity. Nancy has given her ex-husband a private URL that enables him to view their children’s calendars in real time. By putting everything in one place and cutting down on the number of extraneous communication Nancy and her ex husband have the confidence that comes from knowing they are both in control.

Mark

Mark has shared custody of his two daughters. While Mark’s at work, his mom helps during the crucial 3pm to 6pm hours when his children need attention. Mark doesn’t have to worry about childcare, but how does he help his mom stay on top of changes in his girls’ schedules?

PlumLife, the smart calendar, allows Mark to export both his girls’ calendar to his mom separately, which she then imports into her iCal. Since PlumLife also maps several events at once, Mark’s mom knows where the soccer game is as well as the dance school.  

Their conversations revolve around his girls’ lives, not their schedules, and that makes everyone happy.
