2006 New York Code - Certain Contracts Of Parents Or Guardians Respecting Employment Of Infants Not Enforceable Unless Approved.

 
    § 3-107. Certain   contracts   of   parents  or  guardians  respecting
  employment of infants not enforceable unless approved.  Where a contract
  providing for performance or rendering of services by an infant  is  one
  which the supreme court or surrogate's court has jurisdiction to approve
  as  provided  in section 3-105 of this chapter, no parent or guardian of
  the infant with respect to whose services the contract  is  made  shall,
  unless  the contract is so approved, be liable on the contract either as
  a party or as a guarantor of its performance:
    1. If the infant was a resident of the state at the time the  contract
  was  made  or  at  the time of the event by reason of which liability is
  sought to be imposed, by reason of  any  disaffirmance,  repudiation  or
  breach of the contract or any term thereof, or any failure or refusal of
  the infant to perform, or
    2.  In  any  other  case,  by  reason of any failure or refusal of the
  infant to perform or  render  services  required  or  permitted  by  the
  contract  to  be  performed  or rendered in this state or any failure or
  refusal of the parent or guardian to cause such services to be  rendered
  or performed.
