I don't think the baseline underlying government issued documents need to be re-issued (e.g. birth cert, death cert of spouse, court order of divorce/custody) it would just be that underlying letters need to be renewed. If you've got an order of divorce and custody from a spouse who's in the wind, then your letter affidavit so stating that you are the sole guardian/parent (attaching the underlying order) would have to be "new" every 3 months. Still a hassle.
