You need to put your agreement into a Consent Order. In order to do that you have to have a custody case filed in the same court. You need an order to protect yourself should he change his mind or God forbid, took off with your children. Police need to have a court order to help you, should that happen.

It depends on how your court system works. In Idaho, the court would accept the stipulation of the parties as to custody. If you are asking do you still need a court order, yes, you do. Otherwise dad can change his mind.

You will need it to be reduced to a Court order in order to be enforceable when he changes his mind. Do it right, its just you life and your children at risk.

At least in Nebraska, you would not have to go to court if there is an agreement/order signed by both of you.
