I enrolled my daughter at a new childcare less then 2 months ago, they closed due to the coronavirus and the owner says that they will try to reopen on April 13th (I don't think this will happen). In the contract they say that they can close the facility but there is no mention to the fact that we should pay for it if they are closed but the owner says that we have to give 30 days notice (so she is going to make us pay the entire month of April).
Unexpected School Closings
Normal hours of operation are subject to change at any time to ensure the safety and well-being of your children and our staff. Due to the unavoidable occurrence of emergency weather conditions, power outages and wildfires, please remember any closure is the protect the wellbeing of the children in our care.
The language of the contract may provide some insight into this, so you might consider having it reviewed by a consumer attorney. However in your situation, I think you would be justified in the assumption that payments made to the child care provider are for services -- child care. If the facility closes for an extended period (more than a week), it is hard to see how the provider can shift that onto clients by invoking the 30-day cancellation clause. That clause exists to allow the owner time to get a new client when one client leaves. You have not made the choice to leave or move to a different provider -- you and everyone else is the victim of circumstance.
my daughters biological father has NEVER paid child support. My daughter is 11 yrs old.. He has not contacted in more than 7 yrs and showed up on my door step 4 days ago insisting he get to be apart of her life. There was at one time an open case for child support but after so many yrs of child support enforcement not being able to find him I gave up on keeping the case open.. I have through out the years tried to find him myself with no luck.. He found me on face book about 1 month ago.. If his parental rights can be terminated on abandonment, will it still be possible to get child support? Also, I did get state aid in El Paso county CO for several yrs after my daughter was born, does HE have to pay that back to the state?
Is it too late to answer the petition?
I just found out that my spouse filed for divorce and served me by publication. The final hearing is set for tomorrow. I do not live in Miami to answer the petition and wanted to know is it too late to do anything about this. I want to be divorced but I want to see what she placed in her documents she filed as it relates to support for my son.
