Is an agreement by a parent to modify the child's right to support binding on both the parent and the child?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Watrous v. Watrous, F064880 (Cal. App. 2013):

(1970) 8 Cal.App.3d 636, 640.) Therefore, an agreement between parents purporting to modify the child's right to support is not binding on either the court or the child. (Hoover-Reynolds v. Superior Court (1996) 50 Cal.App.4th 1273, 1279.)
