What is the law when a company allows a minor to sign a contract under the age of eighteen?
It depends upon the state, the type of contract and if fraudulent information was used to obtain goods, services, money or property by use of the lending agreement. ---- In general, contracts signed by minors are unenforceable against the minor. In most states, anyone under 18 is considered a "minor." However, the minor can seek enforcement of the contract against the other party. There are exceptions, however. For example, if the minor is legally emancipated, any contract they enter is enforceable. Also, contracts by minors for the purchase of necessities for life (food, clothing, shelter, etc.) are enforceable, because, as a matter of public policy, we want minors to be able to obtain those things when they need to, and people would be reluctant to sell those things to minors if their contracts couldn't be enforced. As for employment contracts, I would guess (but I'm not 100% sure), that the state and federal laws regulating the employment of minors would govern. If the minor is legally allowed to be employed in a particular job, I think any contracts directly related to their employment should also be enforceable.
