It’s a Pennsylvania State Appellate Court, what more do you want?
Besides, the facts seem very odd. There seems to have been an oral agreement that A) May not actually have occurred or B) Isn’t enforceable in Penn State law (don’t know if it is).
Besides, the agreement lacks "consideration." Unless one could argue that the male giving up rights to a child constitutes a limit of legal freedom.
Usually in weird cases like these, the facts are fucked up or the case is going to be over-turned in the state Supreme Court (which is the next step up.)
P.S. If any practicing attorneys here want to add their 2 cents or explain to me why I am incorrect go ahead (as I am only a law student).
