I'm 54 years old. I have been in business for myself since I was much younger. I have been in the ECE field for 12 years and have my Bachelor's degree. I feel this issue goes beyond your individual case. You should absolutely pursue the debt. This is a pattern I've seen with young parents who think it's all a game. Parents need to realize there are significant expenses involved in raising children. I have witnessed this type of thing too often; she doesn't even have a legitimate gripe. You will see more of this behavior if you let her get away with it it because birds of a feather flock together.

If you have an attorney friend or family member, ask them to write a note on your behalf stating they have seen her agreement with you... blah blah. Some parents think they can just quit a job when garnishments start and that will be the end of it. Not so. Collection agency as has been mentioned is another good idea. Look her up on FB ...

Stand up for yourself and the industry, you are providing a valuable service!
