If we Have a Written Agreement but One Side and the Other Side have Reached a Verbal Agreement, is that Enforceable?

Usually, it is not. In Massachusetts, if there is an agreement approved by the court, they will not consider legally enforceable side deals that the parents make regarding child custody or parenting time. The courts though factor in what the parties have been doing but it would not necessarily be a legally binding contract if there is either a court order or a written order. Again, it can be factored in and is not usually legally binding.
