Need Notarized Letter from Child's Father

[cruisedreams2014 0]

I'm not going to use a lawyer, but when I did consult with some lawyers, they told me I will need

a notarized letter from my wife's child's biological father giving permission for her to be in our custody.

We are trying to avoid going to court, and just handle a written agreement. I'm wondering if anyone already

has a letter example or template having been in the same situation. I will also include a paragraph authorizing her daughter

to travel with us back and forth between the US and Canada using a Nexus pass. I'd like to do this all in one letter since

I have to get it notarized.

I do have some legal services that I can use, but if a general used template is available, that will be a start so that I can

present it to the child's father now and get his consent.

Any tips?

Thank you.

luckily a friend of mine is a family lawyer and with her help (yay free) this is what we've drafted for my ex to sign.... it's also based off another post I believe I found here a while back.......

now the letter I carry with me when we're crossing the border for just a visit is much shorter and just something to the effect that he is aware and gives his consent for me to travel with the girls......
