What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? DE
I'm actually on here asking questions for a friend. She just had a baby a few weeks ago and would like to know if she and her baby's father (ex-boyfriend) could make a custody agreement on their own, have it notarized and signed by them both, if that would suffice instead of taking it to court. This is the advice she has been getting from her family and friends and is unsure of what to do. I told her I thought she and he should ask the family law court or help center there to help them. Please advise on the easiest way to do this and the least expensive way. Neither can afford an attorney. They've agreed that she would have sole custody, but he would have set visitation schedule in case this info matters. Thanks!
