Custody without involving the court

07/13/11 01:40 PM

I feel bad even writing this because I know that so many of you are going through hell with child custody. I'm really very fortunate.

My husband and I will be divorcing and we have 2 children together. I do not wish to go through the court for child support, as we have agreed on what he will pay and if there were ever a problem, I always have the ability to go to court if needed. We really want to keep the courts out of this as much as possible. I'm getting much more then I am entitled to from him as we are both very civil with each other (he's allowing me to use 1 of his vehicles, paying the insurance, paying for the cell bill, and $125 a week in CS). My issue is child custody.

My husband suffers from PTSD which is unpredictable. He's not dangerous or anything like that, but it does leave a smidge of distrust if he's ever having an "episode" that he might do something stupid.

That said, I'd like to have something in writing as far as child custody goes. We've both agreed that the children will live with me, and he will have visitation (he's moving just down the street so he can see them any time they are home before he goes to work). We have a holiday schedule already decided, as well as vacations and the like. He works a variable schedule so visitation during weekends and during the week is hard to nail down.

Would having an agreement written up and signed by the both of us in front of a notary, serve as a legally binding document in the event he ever tried to take them for longer then agreed? Basically in case he ever tried to kidnap them? Or do we need to go through court for this type of thing?
