Kids Dad Needs Me To Say They Are With Him 50% Of The Time To Get Housing Assistance.

Location: Texas
I’m custodial parent and have court order that says he gets them every other weekend and then we rotate holidays. However we did verbally agree to splitting the weeks up not due to necessity or anything but it’s what he asked for and I didn’t have an issue and if anything did happen we always has the court order to just fall back on and follow. We also spoke about it during our court hearing and the lawyer said we can agree to whatever we wanted to outside the order but the order still stands and we can always have something in case we disagree later. He’s trying to get housing assistance because of medical issues and he’s not able to work. And makes a big deal about being in the kids life blah blah blah so he’s not trying to give up the time the they are with him. I’m like ok fine but it doesn’t make sense to me if you struggling to pay for stuff and they don’t HAVE to be there when funds are tight, but anyway…He spoke with the people last week and since he’s not the primary parent and our court order says what it says they won’t approve to add him to the list unless he gets a notarized letter basically saying that he has the kids 50% of the time and I have to sign it. Will me agreeing to helping him by signing that mess up anything? Child support, custody, insurance, anything? We aren’t changing the court order or anything

I don’t have anything against him and we’re pretty cool with each other I just don’t want this to bite me later on. And he understand my hesitation to notarizing my signature on anything that has to do with the kids
