When people enter into a platonic parenting agreement to jointly conceive and raise a child without an ongoing romantic partnership, there may be a tendency for some to think that the rules and guidelines regarding support of a child in a more traditional relationship somehow do not apply. It is important to note, however, that an appropriate level of child support is generally an ongoing right of the child, regardless of whether they are born of a platonic, romantic, or married relationship. 

As such, while parents are generally free to voluntarily enter into child-related financial arrangements between themselves, the terms of such agreements are subject to the court's right upon application to review such terms, and to either enforce or modify particular support provisions as relating to the best interest of a child.
