I believe the answer is: b. enforce the agreement, as copies of the text messages are sufficient writings.

Since there is a text evidence, the agreement that made by Max and Juli is considered as a non-verbal agreement which would have a stronger impact in supporting Julie's accusation.

If Max is still refuse to take care of her daughter, Julie has a legal ground to divorce Max and obtain payments for child supports.
