That's how some things have to end up unfortunately.

I personally don't have a lot of knowledge on this subject but I searched google just now for you and this looks about what you are looking for.

Mark here in the us a minor can enter into a contract. He doesn't have to honor it but an adult would have to.
You go to the court house and file. Then they serve your dad the papers.then court. Make sure you bring all your paperwork and your witness to court if he still hasn't paid.
I have to take tenants all the time.

Troy is right. If minors could not enter a contract, we wouldn't have celebritys that look like beavers, such as "Miley Cyrus"

What Exceptions Exist to Create a Binding Contract With a Minor?
If every contract with a minor was invalid, no one in their right mind would ever enter into a contract with a minor. To allow some minors to enter into contracts and/or prevent minors from abusing their position, there are several exceptions including:

Sports or Entertainment Contracts
Generally speaking, minors who enter into sports or entertainment contracts are held to them, and cannot void them at will.

Necessaries
Contracts for certain goods and services that are necessary to the health and safety of infants cannot be voided. Such goods and services include food, clothing, and lodging or shelter. In some instances, an automobile or motorcycle is also considered a necessary.


Disaffirm the Whole Contract
A minor who decides to void a contract because of his age must void the entire contract. The law does not let them to continue to enforce some of the contract while voiding other parts.

Ratification

A minor can only void a contract while they are still under the age of maturity (again, usually 18), or for a reasonable time after they have reached that age. If a person does nothing to disaffirm the contract after they stop being a minor, the law can find that they will no longer be able to void the contract

Can an Attorney Help Me With Minor Contracts?
If contracting with a minor, the contract may not be legally enforceable. If you are in the process of drafting a contract, or have already done so and the other party is seeking to defend against its enforcement because they are a minor, contacting an attorney is strongly recommended.
