In some cases, yes, a verbal agreement can be legally binding and enforceable in court. However, it may be difficult to prove the terms of the agreement without written documentation or witnesses. It is generally advisable to put important agreements in writing to avoid misunderstandings and legal disputes.

No, it will not! Notarized form may support a contract, but will not be good in this case. The only insitution capable of issuing such on order and honoring it is the Court. Keep in mind, in most of the states, the court will iniate an investigation on why the father is giving up his rights.


Is a verbal month to month rental agreement binding in Arkansas?

I think so. You'll strengthen your case if you start to put things in writing. To do that, write a letter to the other party, stating the agreement as it was made verbally and stating what you want. Be accurate because your credibility depends on it. Keep a copy of any letters you send. If they don't argue the facts of the verbal agreement, it gives the appearance they agree. Then if you go to court, you have documentation to back up your claims.

Does a verbal premarital agreement with credible witnesses stand up in court?

Unfortunately in the case of premarital underage sex, it will most likely not hold up especially if the child whose parents are pressing charges is still at the age where the parents can charge even if the child says they did and still do want it. In Missouri that age is 16, under 16 the parents can charge even if the child is the same age as the other and says they were a willing participant.
