There hasn't been anything I have witnessed other than normal separation/divorce bitching and complaining about each other. No neglect, abuse, ect.
As a provider, can I be compelled to show up in court for their divorce proceedings?
I have a policy for this... I got pulled into a sticky situation years ago & never want to repeat it. I tell parents if they drag me into court they lose all services immediately; I don't have time for their garbage, much less it affects other families if I have to close & I lose $$... they want to pay my full wages for a day in court?
