Louisiana requires a judge to approve every compromise of a child's claim
A Louisiana tutor can compromise a minor's claim only with court approval, under Code of Civil Procedure article 4265 and 4271, and parents during marriage must do the same under 4501. The court decides how the money is held under article 4521. The age of majority is in Civil Code article 29, and prescription against minors in article 3468.
