[quote=Anonymous]OP, I say this as someone with a REALLY amicable relationship with her ex. Get it in ink. It's entirely possible that everything will go as swimmingly as it can. But if it doesn't, it's nice to have it on paper. I'm not sure how it works if you are unmarried in DC, but with our mostly DIY divorce in Maryland, we were able to basically hammer out an agreement and submit it to the judge and have it entered into our filing. A good friend of mine who had no formal arrangement with her ex suddenly found herself at the receiving end of a custody suit when her child was TWELVE. Her heretofore relatively uninvolved ex got himself a new fiance with a child that he wanted to impress with his superdad powers. It doesn't hold any water, but it's an expensive PITA she has to deal with. [/quote]
