Guam § 3602 - Compromise of Disputed Claim Held by Minor.

§ 3602. Compromise of Disputed Claim Held by Minor.

When a minor has a disputed claim for money against a third

person, his father, or if his father is dead or has deserted or abandoned

him, then his mother shall have the right to compromise such claim; but

before the compromise is valid it must be approved by the Superior

Court, upon the filing of a verified petition in writing. If the court

approves the compromise it may direct that the money be paid to the

father or mother of the minor, with or without the filing of a bond, or it

may require a general guardian or guardian ad litem to be appointed, and

the money to be paid to such guardian or guardian ad litem with or

without a bond as in the discretion of the court seems to the best interests

of the minor. The clerk of the court shall not charge any fee for filing the

petition.
