Any income that you lose by closing your daycare can be included in the judgment amount awarded by the court.
Even when you wrote it, it sounds like just a lot to have to do. BUTif you have that kind of time and patience, then go for it and chase the money.
It's not about "chasing the money" - it's about enforcing the contract. The contract that I spent a lot of time and effort creating. The contract that so many complain about when parent's don't honor it.
I would not waste another second on this family and I would be chasing new clients instead and letting go of the past. I always say what goes around comes around. That family will get what they deserve in the end. Life always seems to work itself out that way, so I think...
Who says you can't chase new clients and collect from previous clients? I know most of us can certainly multi-task.
Again, if you're not going to enforce your contract why have one in the first place?
