Q: How should I proceed with daycare if they have not paid me my deposit?

Contract states that after 90 days upon stating child will not return to school, daycare will refund deposit. On June 1, stated my children will not return to daycare beginning July 5. It is now October, well over the 90 days the daycare’s contract states they would return the deposit. How can I proceed with this? What are obligations of daycare?

A: This is a contract issue so the matter really depends on the language in your agreement. you've asked them for your deposit and they've unreasonably refused, you can file a lawsuit. The amount they owe you will determine how much you sue for, and how and where to file your lawsuit. But sometimes a single letter from an attorney can resolve the problem. You should contact an attorney for a no-cost consultation.
