So, how do you know the lesbians did not have an attorney write up that agreement before they put a notice on Craigslist?
I'm not seeing that in the link.
And, I'll say again, if the contract is a solid one...elements present, etc....the courts usually take contracts quite seriously.
I haven't much luck predicting what a court will do, but, as I said, I hope the KS court is as wise as the VA courts.
Are you terminally stupid, or what? The courts will not recognize a contract between two people that terminates some sort of rights of a third.
This is why parents, who come to the court with a divorce/custody decree that affords one parent custody and absolves the other of all child support resposibility, ALWAYS THROW THOSE OUT. They won't entertain them. Because the PARENTS DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT. The child has a RIGHT to support from both parents. If these morons had done this properly, then they would have gone to the court when the child was born, and the dad could have relinquished parental rights, provided someone else was adopting the child and accepting those rights.
Oh wait, this state doesn't allow that...so they could have moved to another state, or not come up with this arrangement in the first place.
They knew what they were doing, and tried to circumvent the law. Now the child is in need, #2 mommy has flown the coop, and they want to insist that the state pay what the father doesn't want to.
Too ******* bad. If you want the state to pay your bills, the state is going to make sure you pursue ALL assets on behalf of the child. They don't give a shit what the parents *want*. The #1 priority is the support of the child, for the sake of the child. The courts do not traditionally ignore that because the parents want to shirk the court, and the law. The law exists as it is for exactly this reason...so that when parents try to walk away from their responsibility, the child has recourse to the support they have a right to.
