That does NOT sound like a ruling that what your sone did was OK, but rather a go your separate ways result in a restraining order case. They dont transfer students to other classes and say keep away if what occurred was "ok".

While an agreement between husband and wife made during their marriage is enforceable like a normal contract (with somewhat higher standards of fairness required), in New York it requires more formality than a normal arm's length contract.  Mere notarization is not enough, it has to be witnessed like a will.  There may be the same or similar types of requirements in Florida.  If you contact your local court or bar association, they can probably refer you to a place where you can get some free legal assistance with this. ...

The threat to do that which one is legally allowed to do - in this case to report you to the authorities - is generally not considered the type of duress wich would void a contract.  You would have a better chance if the contract was unrelated, for example if a gym owner had coerced you into contracting for a 5 year membership based on threats to report you to the authorities.  That wouild have been straight blackmail.  You don't say, but I gather from the name that the other party here offers services designed to help with addiction issues, making its "threat" to turn you in unless you availed yourself of their services arguably reasonable and legal.  In your case, I don't think a Court will look kindly on your desire to hide your wrongdoing as being "duress." At any rate, one who seeks to have a contract for duress has to prove that (a) he/she acted quickly to seek to void the contract after the duress ended; and (b) that he/she couldn't have gone to the Courts about the duress instead of contracting.  It doesn't sound like you can meet either of these elements....
