I am thinking this might be my way out of the contract? The fact that the deposit has been paid, and it does not look like they plan to pay it any time soon?
Either way I am going to terminate. It is too much of a risk to have these kids around the other children.
I read this to say that the parents didn't have the money to use your program to begin with. Have you not been paid a DIME? You need to realize, (if I'm understanding this right) that if the grandmother signed papers and not parents, you may not ever get your money, even if the kids were well-behaved. You need to draft a term letter as the pp said, and get one of the parents to sign and date it. Good luck on this one! Let us know what happens.
