No, a preexisting duty cannot serve as valid consideration in a contract. Consideration requires that each party provide something new or different as part of the agreement. If one party is merely fulfilling an obligation they already have, it does not constitute a new exchange of value. Therefore, additional promises or modifications must include new consideration to be enforceable.
