More details to this question:
In 2003 I have a court order signed by a judge full physical custody of my boys now 16 and 14. We modified the order with a notarized letter in 2008 where the boys were split between parents. Now my 16 year is failing and having issue and wants to reside with me. He currently is in my house and his step mother said he is no longer welcome in their house. Can I go back to my original custody agreement from the court system or does the notarized letter stand. My 16 year old has many reasons to change household as far as his father screams in his ears, drinks all the time, and is failing school. There is not to be alcohol in the presence of the children in the home in our original order. He is badgering my 14 year old to come live with him which is another contempt. Can I follow the original document?

A notarized letter is not legally binding. You can revert to the old court order--it's the only thing that's able to be enforced. Keep in mind, however, that the other side could file a Petition to Modify and use the letter as evidence that the order wasn't being followed.
