Contract enforcement starts with a good contract. In CA, both oral and written contracts are enforceable, but a written one is easier to prove, and gives more time to sue. Your contract should specify the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, and maybe HOW of the parties' agreement, and the consequences of BREACH.

One of the requirements for a valid contract is that the parties have legal capacity to enter the contract. Certain people presumptively lack capacity, that is, they can't unerstand the nature and consequence of the tranaction. If such persons enter a contract, the contract is "voidable" by them.

"If a contract isn't in writing, it's invalid." "I can sign this contract and change my mind within 3 days." "This contract is standard." "Boilerplate terms don't matter." All untrue, all too frequently believed. The first two myths have some exceptions, the last two don't.
