I am wondering if any of you out there have had to take legal measures to uphold the terms of your contracts?
I have gone out of my way to develop a solid contract that includes a 30 day notice period for termination of childcare services and I am absolutely fed up with Parents not giving or paying for the adequate notice period because they "just dont want to"
The contract is in place for a reason I have sent them copies of their signed contracts but am getting a "who cares" type response.

Its time I stand up for myself and follow through on enforcement right?

Any expriences anyone has had on steps to take enforcement action would be helpful. Do I use a collection agency take them to court??

I love running a dayhome and I do have some great parents, and I know I am a fantastic provider but sometimes parents like these make it so difficult to want to continue on
