Definition
Records created at or near the time an event occurred, rather than reconstructed from memory at a later date.
Why It Matters in Family Court
Judges often give more weight to records created in real time than to recollections offered months later. Contemporaneous documentation helps establish credibility and accuracy of events as they happened.
How ThreadLock Supports This
ThreadLock journals automatically timestamp entries and preserve edit history to support chronological credibility. Every entry is marked with creation time and any subsequent modifications are tracked.
