What does "should have the right" mean?

"Should have the right to enter a contract" means, generally speaking, that the legal system will enforce this contract.

People can enter into any contracts they want, the question is whether these contracts are enforceable.

In this case there is, of course, the issue of the contract binding a third party (the child).
