Minor signed contract

I'm from the state of Washington and my boyfriend signed a contract on a lease to own house with his ex girlfriend. Both of their names are on the contracts. He was 22 at the time and she was only 16. Not emcipated so in terms a legal adult. The mortgage company knew this when they had her sign the contract as well. Is the contract void? Is he still held responsible for it since he was a legal adult, even though she signed it as a minor?

You're kidding, right? You're thinking he can get out of a contract because another signator was a minor? And how do you KNOW that "the mortgage company knew this"??

besides which, he is liable regardless of her liability. Actually, you may have found a way for your boyfriends ex to remain unharmed in the lease issue. As they can be held liable jointly and severally, but in her case, she can't be held liable at all. Aren't you glad you came here???

So her being a minor and signing the contract doesn't void it out all together? just on her part?

I'm wondering how old the OP is,**************.He was 22 and she was 16? She's lucky she's not here trying to get him out of jail for Rape.

Hi guy's, back from Idaho.

That's what they are saying.

I'm 22, With the whole him dating a minor thing, its not an excuse but you wanted an explaination, he went to a party got drunk slept with her she told him he got her pregnant, turns out the dad is actually a player on the Everett Silvertips (hockey) team, so he got them into a house was going to marry her, until they did tests and it came back that it wasn't his. I know stupid on his part, very stupid. She treatened charges, but long story she won't follow through.

what is your problem? I asked a question and you are judging the people involved by it. You don't know them, nor do you have a right to judge them. People make mistakes I'm sure you have. Some not as drastic as others, but that still doesn't give you or the others on here that made comments to judge anyone about their mistakes. If they should be judged its how they take care of their mistakes. And you still don't have a right to do that.

Thank you for your answers. I don't understand you people, getting your kicks on judging others thinking that you're better than them. I can go on and on but I don't have to. You can think what you want. I know people make mistakes, I know he's not a pervert. I know he was trying to take care of a mistake he made. And your right he is great boyfriend material, the best I've ever had.
