QUESTION
Do I need to be at the hearing for my husband custody case?
Asked on Nov 14th, 2013 on Child Custody - New Jersey
More details to this question:
My husband gave guardianship to his son's grandmother after the mother died. Now we would like to have custody of the child back. I cannot go to court due to my job and would like to know if I sign a notarized letter with my income information and answer to other things the Grandmother made in her an answer-would my notarized letter be accepted into the courts by the judge or do I need to be at the hearing also. And we are legally married.

Maybe. You need to talk with your husband's attorney about what will be required.

The courts do not accept "notarized letters" as testimony. A letter can not answer questions that might come up.

Your statement can be presented this way, yes. No you need not be there, but your testimony reduced to a declaration or a verified statement needs to be in the right form. So do this and stay at work.
