I am curious to know from a 'law dog' if a written contract regarding custody and support between partners and then, with the gentleman beforehand would have done anything to ward off this court case......
The judge addressed that question (which is why Glenn Sacks commentary stinks because he ignored that salient point) and the answer was that their agreement didn’t conform to the requirements of the Uniform Parentage Act and so was unenforceable as a matter of public policy.
For a contract to be legally enforceable, it has to conform to the law.
