The key to a child model/actor’s success is a patient, devoted, financially solvent stage parent! People are always asking me about getting their kids into modeling. It looks easy: e-mail some pics of your cutest kid ever to a modeling agency and wait for Gap to call regarding shoot...

I just got a question from a mom about a contract a modeling agency presented to her. Contracts are invariably confusing no matter what the subject matter, but when it comes to the realm of modeling—so foreign to most people, including most lawyers—answers can be hard to come by. Here are...
