Re: Separation
Such a signed statement is better than nothing, but just barely. The problem you will have is that the written statement is not enforible if (or when) she changes her mind and wants the child back.
You should consider saving (or borrowing) the money to hire an attorney to handle the case for you. If you cannot do so, you might consider consulting Legal Aid to see if you will qualify for them to represent you at no cost.
Good luck,
