Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 10102 — Persons Who May Bind Minor With His Consent., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.

§ 10102. Persons Who May Bind Minor With His Consent.

A minor, with his consent, may be bound by his father, or, in case of

his death or incompetency, or where he has willfully abandoned his family

for one (1) year without making suitable provisions for their support, or is

habitually intemperate in the use of intoxicants, or is a vagrant, then by his

mother or legal guardian. An executor, who, by the will of the father, is

directed to bring up a child to a trade or calling, has power to bind by

indenture in like manner as the father might have done, if living. If a child is

illegitimate, the mother alone has power to bind him. If a minor has no

parent or guardian competent to act for him, he may bind himself, with the

approval of the Superior Court. If the mother of a minor, whether legitimate

or illegitimate, marries after his birth, she cannot bind him without the

approval of such Superior Court.
