notarized documents

What kind of documents can a notary be used for? Will it be held up in court?

Thank you.

you can have your signiture notarized, any one, it merely proves that the person who signed it was the person who signed it.

It does not make any paper more or less legal.

Exactly, nor does it make a paper any more truthful. A notary ONLY attests that he/she checked the ID and the person who signed it is the person who said they signed it. That's all.

That's why Wills are witnessed (is the testator of sound mind, etc.) and documents are notarized.

it is basicly worthless unless the judge has ruled on it, and if he is signing it, he has to have it notorised because it is his promise, not yours, but it merley means he agreed to out of court and can come back and change his mind anytime he wants unless it is ruled on by the judge.

sounds like he is trying to trick you and cheat you to not go to court and do this properly

I think you are right. He wants to pay me $800/month which is really good and would help me immensely. I told him if and when we agree I only would ask $450 of him. If I felt like my son didn't need it I wouldnt accept a thing from him.

He knows the court would order me way more and for a longer period of time. He says they wont order more than $1500 because that is the max but I am starting to find that is false.

actually it is not what you ask for really, child support is set by state law in most US states by a forumla. So they base it on his pay, and sometimes your pay and it is jsut what he has to pay.

I know it is based on a formula. I was just going to ask him for that if we did something out of court, but based on our situation we need to go to court I just cant afford to initiate it.

You don't need an Attorney - go to the Court and file the papers.

He has to be established as the legal father first. He is only the biological. Another man is on my son's bc. A paternity test won't be enough, will it?
