No. Only a court order can override an existing court order. A verbal agreement will be considered by the court in rendering its decision but the verbal agreement in and of itself does not override the original court order.

There are some hurdles you have to overcome with a verbal agreement. How can you prove there was ever a verbal agreement in place. I had a verbal agreement with my ex regarding custody of our daughter. She the resided to back out of our agreement and denied ever agreeing to anything. Fortunately I had a call recording application that complied with Federal and Texas State Laws (it announces that its recording the conversation at the beginning of the conversation). Since I was able to prove that we had a verbal agreement, the court honored the verbal agreement. So, a verbal agreement may lead to a decision in your favor if you can prove that an actual "valid" verbal contract has been made

Absolutely not. The order must be modified by the court. A verbal agreement would not protect the obligor or the custodial parent should the other parent change their mind. The current court order remains in effect until it is modified.

Can a verbal agreement override a will?

You haven't provided enough detail.A verbal agreement may constitute a binding agreement or contract although it must meet certain requirements. Whether the parties have a valid contract is a determination that must be made by a judge. Some agreements must be in writing in order to be binding. These include transactions regarding real estate and an agreement to make a Will.http://smallbusiness.findlaw.com/business-contracts-forms/what-contracts-are-required-to-be-in-writing.html

Can a 16 year old son of divorced parents living with dad go out of the country without the consent of the mom?

It seriously depends on if you have legal custody. If you do not, and it is strictly a verbal agreement, then if she chooses to report you, you could be held in contempt of court. There may be other legal violations regarding the fact that you are leaving the country that I'm not 100% sure about. I do know that often times, if you do not have legal custody (depending on the nature and extent of your trip) that you will be asked for proof that the mother is in agreement with the trip and aware that your son is with you.
