FAQ
Capacity by all parties: Each party must understand what they're doing. If someone is a minor or does not have the mental capacity, there may not be an enforceable contract. Legal purpose: The purpose of the agreement must not break the law.
Minors can enter into most contracts, but they can avoid their contracts, up to and within a reasonable time after reaching majority, while the other contracting party with full contractual capacity cannot.
As an example, a contract with a minor is voidable at the discretion of the minor on grounds of his age. But it is still binding on the party on the other side should the minor so decide.

In many cases, minors can't be held to the terms of a contract until they reach the age of majority. In other words, a minor has the right to opt out of a contract, even if the other party is an adult and is bound by the terms.
The law recognizes a minor as lacking the capacity to contract. Therefore, contracts with a minor are voidable. This, however, does not apply to the circumstances where minors are legally allowed to get into a contract and be fully obliged to the terms and conditions. Examples of such circumstances include necessities.
Minors are able to sign contracts for themselves in most cases. In other situations, parents or guardians can sign for them or cosign with them, which does make them legally binding.
In general, minors are considered not to have the legal capacity to enter into the contract, which is why contracts involving minors can be voided. Only the minor, however, has the right to void the contract.
In most states, minors are not legally able to enter into contracts, and any contract they do enter into is considered voidable . However, parents can be held liable for contracts made by their minor children if they have given their consent or if the contract is for necessaries such as food, clothing, or shelter .
