The parents need to sign a disclaimer/release form before you can hire them. After that, you treat them just like any other employee (except, skip the 110weeks and limit it to 40 ;-) child labor laws...

Thanks for that. What about the actual contract for work performed? If there is a dispute, is the contract null and void because he/she is a minor? or should I also have the legal guardian sign the contract?

There is a difference between regular employment, W-2, and independent contractor, 1099, with specific guidelines for which is which. Does the minor live in the same state as you? Things do vary from state to state. I've always understood that a minor could not legally sign a contract; that it wasn't valid until they reach legal age.

Yes, I heard that also. Can anyone verify this? Would it make a difference if the parents signed the contract also? This would be an independent contractor. I guess maybe you just have to trust that things will go smoothly.
