“Well if there are regulations in place that allow him to renounce his U.S. citizenship, even as a kid, then the court must uphold it.”
I don’t know if the paperwork CAN be filled out by a minor under any circumstance. If the minor was 17, maybe...but 10? Or 6?
And if a court found the paperwork was filled out by someone who didn’t understand what they were doing, then it would be thrown out. So...how many 10 year olds can sign legal contracts on their own initiative?

Well here is a kid who divorced his parents at age 12 and it was granted. So I presume he signed legal papers on his own initiative.
