What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

Hello,
A short description of my situation is that I have been divorced for 10 years, and we are both remarried. From my previous marriage, I have two boys, 12 and 14.

He, my ex, has two additional children from his new marriage.

The goal was for me to remain in Florida, so that he could have access to them for visitation. For whatever reasons he might have, and I am not going to judge, he has not seen the kids as agreed. In fact, he visits them maybe, every few months by stopping by for an hour or so.

I had spoken with him two years ago, and told him that if visitation could not resume as ordered by the court, which is every other weekend and split holidays, that I would consider moving because of the work opportunities else where.

He agreed.

Now, we are at that point, and I have been offered a very good job out of state.

He has agreed to allow me to move, with establishing new visitation during the summer and school breaks.

My question is, can we write up an agreement, including a new visitation schedule, and have it signed and notarized? Would this be sufficient?

If you parents are in agreement, can they solve the situation without going to court or seeking legal help?
 
You would be best advised simply submitting a stipulation to the court - this protects all of you.

It should not be difficult or expensive to do and again provides that little bit more protection if Dad decides to change his mind later.
