Brenda lives with her parents who love and dote on Babette, their only grandchild. But they impose expectations and lifestyle rules that irritated Brenda. She conforms and Babette benefits from Brenda’s more responsible parenting when Brenda conforms to her parent’s rules. Brenda wants her parents to subsidize her getting her own apartment; she threatens to move in with Billy if they will not do so. Her parents can afford to do so, but are concerned that Brenda will revert to a lifestyle that will harm their grandchild. They ask you to draft a contract for Brenda that will obligate and motivate her to act responsibly. Is such a contract permissible? If so, what provisions might it contain?
