My response:

When it comes to the welfare of children, private agreements are worthless in a court of law. You could have one notarized 10 times, and it wouldn't make any difference. You cannot, by law, take away a court's "jurisdiction" by a private agreement. A court must render a visitation, custody and support order.

So, to directly answer your question, your private agreement would not "hold up" in a court of law.

Good luck to you.

is this simply to try and avoid the costs of court?

there are DEFINITELY simpler ways to getting the technical paperwork done. if you and your soon to be ex can sit down and draw out all of the details and agree upon everything - YOU ARE DOING BETTER THAN MOST!!!!!

if you can agree upon the terms, you could use a paralegal to draw up the paper work for you and submit it to the judge. if neither of you are contesting, it is really a simple matter and shouldn't take long or alot of money.
