Yes, there can be problems inherent in contracting with a minor.
In California, for example, a minor can disavow a contract (minors are said to be not competent to enter into contracts). When much is at stake, for example when a substantial label is signing a minor to a recording contract, the agreement will be put before the Superior Court. When/if the court "confirms" the contract, the minor will not later be able to disavow based on his/her minority at time of signing.
In practical terms, Marc's comments re lots of communication and involving the parents make lots of sense.
