Q: Is a hand written and signed agreement to alter days and times of shared custody a legal document? Jefferson county CO
My daughter's mother and I, drafted a agreement to alter days and times of our shared custody while I was laid off from my job. And now that I am working again, the days and times are not achievable with my schedule, and she is unwilling to change our hand written agreement. Does the agreement hold weight? Or can I throw it out and remain obiding by the court order?

A: If the agreement was submitted to the court and made an order of the court it is a legal document and binding. If it is just something you all signed and is no longer doable, then your move is to tell her you're going back to what the court orders say, which would be the only legally binding document. If she refuses you should seek out the assistance of any attorney to file a motion to enforce parenting time.
