Q: Can I just do parent plans for visitation between my ex and I and just have notarized or do I have to go to court.
I live in Oregon and she is in Virginia. We had verbal agreement but wondering if we can write something up and take it to be notarized if that would be a legal document so I can get her for Christmas every other year and during the summer. Daughter is 14.
A: Parties can enter into a written agreement regarding issues like child custody, visitation, and child support. However, if you want the agreement to be enforced by the JDR Court, you should hire an attorney who can assist you with having it incorporated into a consent order.
