Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania
child custdy
my husband and i are seperated after 9 years.i have 2 kids, i was pregnant with my daughter when we got together, then we had a son together. every time he gets mad at me he threatens to get custady of my son. i went to a notary and my husband and i signed a paper that said i have full primary custady of the kids.
they live with me and he has visitation rights. we both signed it in front of the notary and she signed it and stamped it. how legal is that paper? can he still get custody if he takes me to court?

Re: child custdy
A custody agreement may be modified by a court order. The standard is best interest of the child.
Good luck to you.
Re: child custdy
Well its is indicative that you 2 have agreed to a custody arrangement.
The fact that is notarized means that neither signer can dispute that they signed it.
The best way to prevent him from taking you to court is to go to court first for a confirmation of custody. This is used to get the court to adopt your agreement as an order of the court. If that happens and the court has awarded you custody your husband will have a higher burden to meet if he petitions for custody.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me, the initial consultation is free.
