A NC divorced guy's ex has agreed to give him custody of their child. Can this be done outside of court?

Question by Jess: A NC divorced guy's ex has agreed to give him custody of their child. Can this be done outside of court? I know a guy who has just recently gotten divorced. His now ex-wife has agreed to give him custody of their oldest daughter. How does this need to be taken care of in the state of North Carolina? Can this be done outside of Court, or does it still have to go before a Judge to become "legal?" Are there documents that need to be completed? It just seems to me that, since both parents agree, this should be easy to take care of... ? Neither parent has an attorney, and I don't think either parents can really afford an attorney. There needs to be something in writing, however, just in case a problem arises. Thanks for any help! Best answer:
