Abstract: A provision in a divorce settlement agreement regarding transfer of parental property to the child constitutes a relationship between promisor and stipulator of the third-party-beneficiary contract.The relationship between the stipulator and the third party is an ordinary gift, either a gift from one single parent to the child, or separate gifts from each parent to the child.When the property transfer agreement qualifies as a true third-party-beneficiary contract, as it is difficult for the child to enforce claims against the parent as stipulator, the child's position in the relationship between promisor and stipulator should be strengthened.Restrictions should be imposed on the right of the parent as stipulator to rescind the contract, based on kinds of non-performance, legal capacity to act of child and a comparison of the child's position before and after rescission.The parent as promisor is not entitled to exercise the right of rescission.After rescission, the child may claim damages in lieu of performance from the parent as promisor.Furthermore, consensual rescission by both parents can only be effective with the child's consent.If only one parent is obligated to transfer the property, he cannot raise the defense of simultaneous performance arising from the relationship between parents against the child's claim for performance.

Key words: A Provision Regarding Transfer of Parental Property to the Child, Third-Party-Beneficiary Contract, Gift, Rescission, Defense of Simultaneous Performance

摘要： 离婚协议中的父母给予子女财产约定构成利他合同的补偿关系,其对价关系属于一般赠与。根据父母双方负担财产给予义务的情况,该对价关系可能是父母一方对子女的赠与,也可能是父母双方分别对子女的赠与。由于子女难以依据对价关系获得救济,在给予子女财产约定构成真正利他合同时,为了保护子女的利益,应当强化子女在补偿关系和执行关系中的地位。父母一方作为补偿关系中的债权人享有解除权的,为了保护子女的利益,应当根据履行障碍的类型、子女是否具有完全民事行为能力、子女在维持约定和解除约定时利益状况之对比,限制父母一方行使解除权。负有财产给予义务的另一方不能行使解除权。在父母一方解除后,子女可以请求另一方承担替代给付的损害赔偿。不仅如此,仅在子女同意时,父母双方才能合意解除给予子女财产约定。仅父母一方负担财产给予义务的,父母一方不得以补偿关系所生的同时履行抗辩权对抗子女的履行请求。
