Visitors to Child Custody Law Services certainly understand that family law, including child custody arrangements, can be complicated. Visitors also know that there are numerous factors complicating child custody arrangements, factors that could affect the stability of your children’s home environment. What might not be clear is how the law regarding breach of contract nevada could potentially impact a family law situation. When we talk about a breach of contract, we are discussing any situation in which one party to a negotiated agreement does not fulfill their obligations under that agreement. In Nevada, we call the injured party on the contract the “injured party.” The contractual obligation of the injured party, meanwhile, is the “promise.” The “promisor” is anyone who agrees to perform according to any of those promises.
There are many ways that contractual agreements can enter into the lives of a family. For example, a family could have contracts covering child support, custody, visitation, spousal support, or even the distribution of property prior to or following divorce. As an example, consider the situation of a father with a young child. The mother of the child, wanting to encourage regular communication and a close relationship between the father and the child, might negotiate a contract under which they agree on a visitation schedule. Under such a contract, the mother should be obligated to do her part to accommodate such visits. If she were to ignore this contract and not allow the father to take care of the child at the scheduled time, she might be liable for a breach of contract and for the resulting damages. In other words, the father could choose to take her to court if she did not fulfill her part of the agreement. Alternatively, the father could choose not to do anything about the breach. That choice is his-and he is the injured party.
The terms of a contract might be negotiated by parties to an agreement. Once both parties sign such an agreement, the state has the power to enforce the contract. If there is a dispute over the terms of the contract, the injured party must file a petition in the appropriate court. In Nevada, for example, the court you might file in would depend on the nature of the agreement and its value. Accordingly, the injured party could file in either district or municipal court. Complicated cases, which are beyond the ability of those courts to handle, would go to district court. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to breached contracts in Nevada. Factors like the type of contract at issue could lead to different results.
Enforceable contracts must have the following legal principles: there must be consideration; you must be competent to contract; the purpose of the contract must be lawful; and the parties must consent to the agreement and its terms. Keep in mind that parties in a child custody agreement must be permitted to enter into a contract. If they are not, then a judge may choose to disregard the agreement. Depending on what type of contract it is, the court may or may not give full effect to the contract. There are several different types of contracts that might apply in a child custody situation. Some common contractual agreements include: When you negotiate a contract for the first time with your spouse regarding child custody, you should make sure that it is properly drafted. You should also seek the help of an attorney for any breach of contract situation that you are facing.
