What is the legal age that a minor can sign contract in CA?

Question

What happens if they get divorced before 18, can they still sign contracts?
Detailed response would help a lot- Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

18

I believe that is universally true throughout the USA because 18 years olds were given the vote and the right to die for our country, but not to drink (in most jurisdictions)

I.E. they are smart enough to screw their lives up with credit cards, but not smart enough to consume alcohol.

Answer 2

Once a minor is emancipated, she is entitled to consent to medical care, enter into binding contracts and real estate transactions, sue and be sued, enroll in school, establish her own residence, and apply for work permits.241 Once granted, a declaration of emancipation may be voided upon a showing that it was obtained by fraud or misrepresentation of material information, or may be rescinded if the minor becomes indigent and has no means of support.242 This option of rescission gives the court some degree of control over what happens to minors after they leave the courtroom, essentially granting the judiciary not only the power to confer emancipation but also the power to take it away.

The California statute, like most other states' emancipation statutes, while greatly expanding the rights of minors, does not grant minors carte blanche every right an adult is entitled to. An emancipated minor in California still receives minority status for purposes of school attendance laws, certain child labor laws, voting laws, and laws that restrict the possession and purchase of alcohol.248 In addition, the California juvenile courts retain jurisdiction over minors who are emancipated prior to reaching the age of majority.249

Answer 3

Any contract signed with a minor is enforceable by the minor, but NOT by the adult. This means that the minor can breach a contract without being held accountable, but a minor CAN hold the adult to the terms of the contract. This is the main reason why NO adult with God given sense will enter into ANY contracts with minors. You can verify this with any lawyer.

Answer 4

If someone is emancipated, they can sign contracts. That's the whole point of being emancipated.

Answer 5

18 years old. You need to be an adult to be legally bound by a contract.
