"Every contract is an agreement, but not every agreement is a contract."
In family law, understanding the difference can be crucial. Think of prenuptial agreements or child custody arrangements—these are more than mutual understandings; they become legally binding contracts that protect the rights of all parties involved.
While agreements can exist on trust alone, contracts offer security and clarity, ensuring everyone is on the same page and legal obligations are respected. This distinction can make all the difference in resolving family matters fairly and responsibly.
