setting aside an MSA based on a best-interest determination, when the MSA meets the statutory requirement is improper
noting Section 153.0071(e) controls over best interest mandate in part because of more recent date of enactment
reviewing case in which MSA “mean[t] the child w[ould] have no contact with [the father]” and holding that trial court abused its discretion by independently determining child’s best interest and declining to enter judgment on MSA
\The use of the word 'notwithstanding' indicates that the Legislature intended section 153.0071 to be controlling.\
“[W]hen there is some evidence to support the trial court's decision, no abuse of discretion exists.”
