Turn a Repeated Sibling Fight Into Options, Not a Verdict — Free
Write three options for the same recurring fight and score them on fairness, effort, and trial length; the map ranks them so you are choosing between options rather than refereeing again.
What this replaces
Refereeing a recurring fight produces a verdict and no change. This scores the options on how fair they read, how much effort they cost you, and whether they can be trialled, so the family agrees to try one rather than to obey one.

The four passes
Collect the smallest useful input
One option per line with a fairness score, an effort score, and a trial length in days.
Let the map rank them
Each gets a weighted score with the three numbers behind it.
Offer the top two and let them choose
A chosen option survives longer than an imposed one.
Review on the trial end date
An un-reviewed trial is just a new status quo.

What breaks, and what to do
Fairness scored from the parent's view
Ask each child to score it; the gap is the useful part.
Options that only work when you are there
Score the effort honestly or the ranking lies.
Fights with a safety element
Intervene first, then use the map for the rest.
Boundary — what this does not do
This page organizes what you enter into rows. It does not give legal advice, does not calculate what a court would order, and does not replace a mediator or attorney.
Confirm any split, format, or figure with your current agreement, the court's form set, or a qualified adviser before you send or file it.
