Quick answers

Oya Shield — the custody log that can't quietly change FAQ

Can my co-parent see what I log?

No. Your log is private to your account and entries, photos, and expenses are never visible to your co-parent.

What happens when I edit or delete an entry?

Edits are saved as amendments, preserving the original entry. Deletions are soft, meaning the record stays on file but is marked as deleted.

Can I use my records in court?

You can export your log as a PDF to share with a mediator or attorney. Whether it is admissible depends on the court and jurisdiction.

Does AI write my custody record?

No. The import feature proposes drafts which you must review and confirm. The assistant's original wording is kept separate from your own.

What if I get a new phone?

Your log is tied to your email sign-in, so you can sign in on a new iPhone to access your record.
