Isa signed letter enforceableas to support or must it an order be issued by a court?
My husband cheated on me so I’m moving from El Savador back to CA. He’s going to stay with our kids while I go back and find a good job and a house. He agrees giving me 4k a month for the first year while I find a stable life. He gave me a letter stating this with his signature. If he changes his mind, will this letter be legal or have any value so he has to keep his promise?

No and please do not leave there without speaking with an attorney about your children and their well being and custody. First of all are you all American Citizens living in El Salvador or is he from there and you from here? You can not take the kids from him just like that and this question is way too difficult to deal with in this forum without more information. Please, I beg you, seek legal help and do not leave until you do. And until you have an enforceable agreement signed and sealed, as they say. The letter is not good enough and don't let him try and convince you otherwise.. Good luck.
