My child was in an in-home day care (person watched kids at her home).
The contract says we can pull the child out at any time, but we need to
Give 3 weeks notice, or can pull the child out and pay the 3 weeks in advance.
Well, I pulled my kid out (various reasons), and the provider wants me to pay her.
The fact is I NEVER signed the contract. My child was there for 6.5 months. Am I legally obligated to pay? Provider has indicated she’ll take me to small claims court if I don’t pay her. I’m not trying to be a jerk and stiff her, but A) she never made me sign a contract (she did provide a copy to me at the time of initial service), and B) her place was dirty, and she lied to us about the # of kids that would be there (ie. instead of 4 there were 8 on some days), and the list goes on. So, am I legally obligated to pay? Thanks.
