  1. This is exactly why you "should" sort it out before it happens

     

    I know this has come up a few times on the thread but I'm really not sure you can. It's a pretty general principle of law that you can't write a contract that overrides statutory or common law - unless in exceptional circumstances

     

    I would have thought an agreement between two parents as to who gets to take the kids home if they break up, written when they are still together, is likely to be pretty worthless if the break-up actually occurs and the other parent contests it. Circumstances have changed, etc etc, and common law (precedent) will give them a presumption of contact/access, whatever an agreement written in the past might say
