Family court: Can the parties agree to add something to the court order that one of them wouldn't get if they asked the judge for it?
I read online that in some adoption cases, the court has the ability to add visitation for immediate biological relatives to the final order, but it's really difficult to get that and definitely requires a firmly established relationship with the child.
If the relative didn't have an established relationship, but the adoptive family said they wanted a visitation clause for the relative in the final order, and there was no other reason (criminal record, etc.) that the relative wouldn't be allowed near the child, would the court allow it?
