I presume even then, the court could still over-ride such a contract, if it is in the "best interests of the child". No legal right is superior to that.

Here, it sometimes happens that a step-father has to pay child support (in loco parentis), where biological dad is not providing support. Step-dad has a right to set-off what he is paying against what biological dad should/could be paying.
