Custody papers?

[junglejao 0]

My husband, who has a child back in Peru from a previous relationship, has his AOS interview in a couple of weeks. One of the things listed on the letter for him to bring is "Birth certificates for all children of this marriage, and custody papers for your children and for your spouses children not living with you". Is this stating that we need to bring something from his ex-girlfriend, with whom his son lives? They never went through any kind of official proceedings, but they both agree that his son lives with her for now. If this is indeed something we need to bring, what exactly does it need to be? Can it just be a statement from her or does it need to be something more official? The interview is drawing near and there isn't much time. This isn't something we've ever been asked for before. Can anyone offer insight?

Thanks!

As far as the Custody papers we were never asked for any type of papers during our interview, and I also petitoned the kids who came 6 months later. It is a standard letter, I would bring the birth certificate in case but as far as a Custody paper this was never brought up in our AOS interview and he has 3 sons and I have a daughter.

I would definitely bring the birth certificate and just to be safe, your husband and the ex-girlfriend could each write a letter stating that there were no official proceedings, but custody is agreed on between them. Then if they ask for custody papers, you have some evidence of what you're telling them.
