With a few exceptions, contracts that are entered into by a minor are voidable, or can be cancelled. However, contracts for necessities like food or shelter, are typically enforceable, even if they are entered into by a minor. Contracts made by minors for artistic or performing services or for professional sports may be approved by a court. A minor may cancel a contract within a reasonable time after turning 18, or they may affirm a contract within a reasonable time. This can happen either expressly or implicitly, such as by making a payment. (TCA 36-3-106)
