Re: father rights
Your son has placed himself in great jeopardy of creating huge problems for himself. What he is attempting is to adjust legal rights and obligations between himself and his wife without knowing what those rights and obligations are and without contract drafting ability. He needs to immediately seek the advice of counsel. If he wants me to assist him, he can call me at 856-546-8010; if he mentions LawGuru, his first consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
Re: father rights
If he had no legal representation when he signed the agreement, it probably can be overturned. In any event he would not give up his right to visitation. Any divorce or court action automaticaly gives the court jurisdiction over the children so they cannot legaglly be removed from the state without his written permission or a court order. Your son needs legal advice befor they get to court. If you mention Law Guru, the first consultation is free. Good luck.
