§ 48-3-610. Collateral agreements.
If a person executing a consent and the prospective adoptive parent or parents enter into an agreement regarding visitation, communication, support, and any other rights and duties with respect to the minor, this agreement shall not be a condition precedent to the consent itself, failure to perform shall not invalidate a consent already given, and the agreement itself shall not be enforceable. This section shall not apply to a post-adoption contact agreement and order governed by G.S. 7B-909.2 and G.S. 7B-909.3. (1995, c. 457, s. 2; 2025-16, s. 1.18(d).)
