1. My former spouse wouldn't answer the home phone when I talked with the kids during the divorce. I wrote an app that texted her and logged the attempt for reporting to the guardian ad litem.

2. She also wouldn't answer the door when during kids pick-up. The same app texted her when I was outside.

3. To disprove her allegations I wasn't involved in the kids school and activities I used Android's Locale app to trigger geofenced log entries.

4. Python and Matplotlib came in quite handy automating timeline generation from PDF docs. Never got that one quite perfect though.

I'm not sure I could have prevailed in getting more time with my kids without the time savings automation gave me. I've seen other fathers stopped cold in Court who were less prepared.
