Legal Question in Family Law in California

My son's father and I have an existing child custody order that we want to modify, but we don't want to go through the three month process of filing OSC, serving each other, mediation, and waiting for a court date. We get along well and both agree on what we want changed on our court order. Is it true that if we type up our modification, both sign in agreement, and have the document notarized, that the notarized document is sufficient to officially modify the existing order? If so, what is the process we need to follow to have the modification recognized and placed on record with the family court?

Why don't you stipulate to it, and have a proposed modification order filed with the court along with the stipulation?
