Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
divorce
I have 3 children and my husband filed divorce papers and for school purposes it states on them that 2 of the chilren live with me and the baby which is 5 lives with him, when I read the divorce papers it felt like I was signing my younger daughter over to him so I typed up a letter stating that all 3 children live with me and that he will not ever try to gain full custody for any of them and we had it notirized. My question is would that notirized letter be considered a legal document and hold up in court if ever needed, being that we both signed it and had it notirized?

Re: divorce
It probably will. You should file a motion for custody and attach the letter as an exhibit.
Re: divorce
Your signed, notarized document may definitely be used as evidence in a court proceeding. Notarized documents are equivalent to someone taking a formal oath in court as a witness as regards the contents of the document.
It sounds as if your husband is pursuing formal divorce proceedings against you and wishes to challenge for primary physical custody.
Custody issues are among the most complex in family law and I would highly recommend you enlist the help of an attorney.
