In California, a minor has the right to dis affirm their contracts at any time, either before the minor's majority or within a reasonable time thereafter. However, a minor's right to dis affirm a contract is inapplicable in two instances: (1) where a parent or next friend has executed a valid release to name, likeness etc (Pursuant to Cal. Civ. Code Section 3344) or; (2) when the superior court in California approves a valid contract (Cal. Family Code Section 6751).

Ratified, but only after the minor has become an adult. (Also if it is for "necessaries").
