i was wondering if a notorized letter from me and her will do good in my getting my son quicker since its a legal document. just in case later on she tries to contest it i can show the judge that we got the letter notorized by the both of us.

A noterized letter is not a legal document so as far as legally having custody no it will not help you. What it would show is her intent at a certain time. She can allow him to live with you but you will immediately need to file for a modification in order to prevent her from coming back on you.

For instance, if you son lives with you then goes to a visitation with mom and she decides to keep him she would have that right because through a court order (I'm assuming you have one) she has custody. So if you were to call the police that court order will trump any noterized letter.

Yes. When it comes to court the only things that are recognized that are notarized are things such as affidavits and other 'court' filings and legal documents such as power of attorneys and such. Notarized statements are literally usually not worth the paper they are written on. An actual court order TRUMPS any sort of letter, notarized or not.

The point of getting things notarized is that it verifies the signature of the person signing on LEGAL documents, again on things such as affidavits, POA's, and court filings.
