Contracts Create Bilateral Rights and Duties Sample Clauses

Contracts Create Bilateral Rights and Duties. The different role that autonomy plays in contract and parentage agreements also helps explain another difference in the structure of the resulting duties. In a contract, the exchange of promises alters the parties’ rights and duties to one another. Contracts create private, bilateral relations between the parties to the contract. A promisor owes a duty to the promisee. She incurred it because she exercised authority over her own duties by making the promise to the promisee, not because fulfilling this promise makes the world a better place. The promisee has a correlative claim on the promisor. She also acquires two legal powers over the promisor’s duty: a power to waive the promisor’s duty and a power to xxx if the promisor breaches the contract. The promisee acquires her claim and powers because she exercised her moral power over her life by accepting the promise. Parentage agreements have none of these features. Parentage agreements purport to create rights and duties with respect to a third party: the child. Once the agreement is final, neither party obtains the power to waive the other’s performance later. Parental duties are owed to the child, and the adults remain parents until a judicial order terminates their status. Moreover, neither party ever sues for rights under the agreement. In case of separation, they would xxx for custody as parents. A parent can xxx for child support, but the right to support belongs to the child.147 Of course, I am not denying that parents make reciprocal commitments.148 Those commitments, however, justify horizontal duties running between the parents, not the vertical duties running between the parents and the child. Promissory morality and its legal kin do not empower adults to create duties to a child by making promises to one another, much less give the adults a power to confer rights over the child. The child is not a party to these promises. Some distinct source of moral authority—beyond contractual ideas grounded in promises 146. Xxxxxxxxx X. Xxxxx & Xxxxxx X.
