COLUSA, CA (MPG) — The Colusa Sutter Yolo Regional Child Support Agency has introduced a new tool to help families manage shared parenting schedules and improve communication across households.
The My Sticker Calendar is designed to give children a fun, hands-on way to track time with each parent while teaching parents more about child support and the agency’s services. Featuring artwork created by local children, the 2026 calendar includes colorful stickers that allow kids to mark birthdays, appointments, and parenting time throughout the year.

“Families today are complex, and shared child custody is more the norm,” said Natalie Dillon, director of the Colusa Sutter Yolo Regional Child Support Agency. “Our goal is to help take care of the legal and financial aspect of child support so that parents can focus on raising healthy, happy kids.”
The agency printed 2,500 calendars for the launch, available while supplies last at its offices in: Colusa: 217 9th Street, Colusa, CA 95932, Yuba City:1007 Live Oak Blvd., Yuba City, CA 9599, and Woodland: 100 West Court Street, Woodland, CA 95695.
Calendars are also available through the Family Law Facilitator’s Office at the Superior Court in each county. Dillon said the agency hopes to make the project an annual offering depending on community response.
The calendar aims to reduce stress and confusion as children move between parents’ homes. By helping families stay organized, Dillon said, the tool can ease everyday transitions such as remembering sports equipment or tracking school events.
“The entire family being on the same page about the household schedule can reduce tension and make the day go more smoothly,” she said. “Looking at the calendar and planning for vacations, holidays, and milestones can build excitement and reduce anxiety.”
Along with its planning features, the calendar includes bilingual information about child support, including how to establish or enforce an order, share health care and child care costs, and access court-related services. Dillon said these details help parents better understand the financial responsibilities involved in co-parenting.
The agency provides assistance to all parents who share parenting responsibilities, regardless of income or location. Staff attorneys and child support professionals help manage cases, ensuring children receive the support they need.
“Navigating co-parenting can be tricky for adults and sometimes stressful for kids,” Dillon said. “I hope My Sticker Calendar gives families in Colusa, Sutter, and Yolo Counties a fun and easy tool for planning what’s ahead, and that parents learn a bit about child support along the way.”
The My Sticker Calendar is available free of charge while supplies last.
