What is the name of your state? Arkansas.
Long story short... My step-son has asked if he could write a letter to the Judge to ask if he could spend the entire summer with us. My husband has standard visitation of a total of 4 weeks which is split up into two separate 2 week sessions. He's been begging for this for quite some time and we keep telling him that he would miss his mom too much because Summer is a really long time. But that doesn't seem to phase him. He lived with us up until two years ago... but that's the best we could come up with. Well, his mother came up with... "It's up to the Judge." according to my step-son. (There is absolutely no communication between my husband and his ex.) We would love for him to be able to stay with us all summer, but I don't think his Mom meant "If it's okay with the Judge, it's okay with me."
Is it even permissable for him to write a letter to the Judge and send it?
