Definition of disaffirmance
Definition: Disaffirmance is when someone denies or rejects a previous agreement or contract. It can also refer to a declaration that a contract, which can be voided (like one made by a minor), is no longer valid.
Examples: If a 17-year-old signs a contract to buy a car, they can later disaffirm the contract and return the car. Another example is if a person agrees to sell their house but then changes their mind and disaffirms the contract.
Explanation: Disaffirmance is a way for someone to undo a previous agreement or contract. In the case of a minor, they are not legally bound by a contract they sign, so they can disaffirm it. The examples show how disaffirmance can be used to cancel a contract and return things to their previous state.
Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

Simple Definition
Disaffirmance: When someone says they don't agree with something they previously agreed to, it's called disaffirmance. This is often used when a young person makes a contract, but then decides they don't want to follow through with it. Disaffirmance means they can cancel the contract and not be held responsible for it.
