Kessler says. “The parents are the people who know the kids best, they reached an agreement, why not enforce it?”

Unless the woman made an agreement (i.e. marriage). In which case it can be tossed, and any new agreement she wants enforced on the guy.

This is an unusual case where the guy manages to get the agreement tossed.

It was thrown out because it was one sided according to the judge. That violates one of the tenets of a valid contract.

I'm kind of surprised by the judge's reasoning. Throwing out the contract for being one sided (lacking consideration) or being illusory (promise to "work on marriage" not an enforceable promise) opens her up to being overturned on appeal.

There was an easier resolution: by accepting the $10,000, the children had given up their rights under the contract. If a third party beneficiary surrenders their rights under a contract the contracting parties can no longer enforce the agreement on behalf of the TPBs.

He should not have signed that agreement if he did not intend to honor it. No court would have assigned this kind of obligation to him. He done fucked up.
