A contract is binding, whether written or verbal. The advantage to having something in writing is that you have proof. But if a case can be reasonably proven, a verbal contract can be upheld in court.

Can a verbal agreement regarding child custody override a court order?

No. Only a court order can override an existing court order. A verbal agreement will be considered by the court in rendering its decision but the verbal agreement in and of itself does not override the original court order. There are some hurdles you have to overcome with a verbal agreement. How can you prove there was ever a verbal agreement in place. I had a verbal agreement with my ex regarding custody of our daughter. She the resided to back out of our agreement and denied ever agreeing to anything. Fortunately I had a call recording application that complied with Federal and Texas State Laws (it announces that its recording the conversation at the beginning of the conversation). Since I was able to prove that we had a verbal agreement, the court honored the verbal agreement. So, a verbal agreement may lead to a decision in your favor if you can prove that an actual "valid" verbal contract has been made


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.
