Re: custody battle
If the parties have reached an agreement on all issues, it's possible to just schedule a short hearing to put the agreement on the record and ask the Court to approve it.
Unless the agreement is approved by the Court and included in an Order, it is not enforcable, so simply having it notarized alone doesn't really do anything.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
