Under single care agreements, parents generally agree that one of them should have sole physical and legal custody. States generally approve this agreement when parents feel it best, although many states formally prefer shared custody. If you make changes, you can submit them to the court and ask a judge to change your agreement accordingly. Once the parents have finished drafting the custody agreement, they will be able to choose for their own lawyers to check the document and then sign it, either in front of their lawyers or in front of witnesses and a notary. The agreement can remain an informal agreement between the parents or the parents can file the document in court if desired or by an already existing court decision. The agreement should contain parenting calendars, including visiting times, weekends, public holidays and other educational information. Whatever your decision to share responsibility, Custody X Change allows you to add the provisions to your custody contract. Judges almost always allow agreements between parents, unless it harms the child. If a parent objects to an agreement, the case is tried to allow the judge to rule on custody. The last thing you want to do is spend the next few years arguing with the other parent about your child. If you do not agree on changes, you must go back to court so that a judge can decide if they are in the best interests of the child.
