I hate to be the spoilsport but I have never seen a contract work in the twelve years I have been a member of this board. After all, if our kids were the kind of kids that would follow rules they wouldn't be in this predicament in the first place.
Having said that, you need to do what you feel is right in your heart. It probably won't work but at least you will know that you gave it a shot. Maybe your son will surprise me.
I truly hope so.
