Consulting Firm Replacement Fee

Hi,

I work for a consulting company and I've been on an assignment with a large university for 3.5 yrs. now. I work in the Finance Division in the International Finance Department. I started out full-time and since having my daughter I've been part-time-24 hrs./wk. I want to apply for an HR position at the university which is in a different division under the VP and General Counsel. Can I get out of the fee? My engagement letter states:

''... As such, the University, for itself and on behalf of its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, agrees that it will not hire or contract for services, either directly or through a third party with any individual provided hereunder prior to the later of (i) a period of one year from the date hereof, or (ii) six months after the completion of such individual's project, without notifying Resources. In the event that the University or any parent subsidiary or affiliate, does hire or contract with, either directly or through a third party , any such individual in any capacity within the period referenced above, the University agrees to pay a replacement fee of 30% of such individual's annualized salary or contracted fee....''

Temp Guardianship

My son went to live with his grandparents per agreement by all parties. My husband (step-father) is offered a job out of state and I was wondering if there is a document I can give the grandparents or have prepared 'just in case' and to show they have responsibility and control over my son. Father is not an option nor does he want 'possession'. Son is doing very well with grandparents. What can I do short of hiring an attorney to insure they have all rights? Son is 15 and desires to remain with grandparents. Will a notarized and witnessed statement work? What to do? I have limited time before moving out of state. Thanks for your time.
