I figure each party can negotiate with each other party without my generalizing advice ... except to say: (a) I don't think judges hold anyone under age to a binding contract, and (b) I don't think a judge inflicts a non-negotiated contract on anyone, and (c) I don't think any judge will uphold any contract without "consideration" between the parties, that is, money change hands. Ask a lawyer who practices in your jurisdiction. Fight the Power!
