[I don’t know if the paperwork CAN be filled out by a minor under any circumstance. If the minor was 17, maybe...but 10? Or 6?
And if a court found the paperwork was filled out by someone who didn’t understand what they were doing, then it would be thrown out. So...how many 10 year olds can sign legal contracts on their own initiative?]
Well here is a kid who divorced his parents at age 12 and it was granted. So I presume he signed legal papers on his own initiative.

“The lawyers of Rachel Kingsley, however, appealed to the Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal in Daytona Beach, Florida. It ruled that the trial court erred in granting standing to a child to divorce his parents.”
