I have two little boys. There father is in jail and last time I traveled with one of them, I had to get a sign notarized letter to get my son out of state. He wasn't in jail at that time, so I easily got it. But now he is, and might go out of state with both of my children. What do I do if he is in jail and I need a notarized letter again?Is it possible I could get full custody of them, so I won't have to go thru all that trouble?? We are not married, and we are no longer together. What is it that I have to do so I can get it, If it's possible?? Need someone's help Plz!!!

Unless you have a court order stating that you need a notarized letter OR if you are traveling out of the country, you should not be required to have a notarized letter. If you and your boys have different last names, however, you may want to consider taking copies of their birth certificates just to prove you are their mother. Getting full custody is always hard. What you may also want to do is get their father to agree to allowing them to always travel with you (no matter where it is), have an attorney draw up something for him to sign stating such and have it recorded with the courts. If this is something you can both agree on, no approval from a judge will be needed. It would just have to be recorded with the courts. Be prepared, going through an attorney will probably cost $300ish dollars.....it would be money well spent though.

The first thing you need to do is contact your local court house. I assume there is no visitation/custody agreement in order right now. Depending on what state you are in, you stand a very high chance of getting full custody, especially since he is clearly not able to handle it in jail. Now, just because you have full custody doesn't mean that you can keep the kids from visiting him if the judge orders it. My best advice to you would be to go to the court and meet with someone who handles these cases, in my state they are called Intake Officers, basically they are the people who handle all the paperwork before the judge sees it. A lawyer would help but you don't necessarily need one. Good Luck!!

If you are not married, don't you have full custody of them anyway. In any case you need to see a lawyer. I don't understand why you had to get something notarized before leaving the state. He's in jail, what can he really do from behind a jail cell. See a lawyer.

You should probably go talk to the magistrate and have an emergency hearing and ask to take your kids out of state. You can probably get temporary full custody at least- until he can get out of jail to contest it. He is doing nobody any good sitting in jail. Pursue it now while he's in jail and they can verify it easily. Yes.. go now!!

Are u just traveling out of state or moving? If just traveling you can go ahead and go as long as you still have a residence in the state you are in now and your intention is to return to that residence. Just dont tell the man in jail you are going.

definitely go back to court with an OSC for modification of custody. since he's in jail, what on earth is he gonna do with custody rights?? and i'm guessing he's not even paying child support since he doesn't have a job. (duh) and as long as it was the benefit of the children to move, how can a judge say no?

With your ex's lifestyle it is very possible to get custody of your children. Take it to the courts.

If he is paying child support you need to contact somebody in the court system to find out your rights in this situation. Cover your @ss.
