Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Virginia
dept
My Nephew owes me money I made him sign a paper that states he owes me $100. my question is if he does not pay can I take him to court. He is 17 and I heard agreements are not legal if they are done with someone under the age of 18. Is this true for my case.

The minor has the option of disaffirming contracts which he or she signed while still under age 18 and which do not involve the so-called "necessaries of life", e.g., food, shelter, medical care, etc.
