So here is the deal... its been over a year, my ex has never sent me a letter or a receipt for daycare, now she wants 700 bucks.. She pays the daycare with a check each week. However the daycare lady is not a legit daycare. I was paying her (ex cunt) by check what she "claimed" I owed each week, This tax season I went to claim child care expense on my taxes and could not do so because I had no proof. Now the Daycare provider does not claim the income from the daycare and her taxes and does not want me claiming it. My question is, will I be held accountable for all that day care if I have never gotten a receipt, certified letter or bill in over a year? or is a check enough proof for the courts to say, go directly to jail do not pass go?

I should add Im court order to pay 60%.. But, like I said, I have never gotten a bill. just a txt every couple of months "hey you owe this"

Does your agreement order a certain timeline for you ex to submit bills? Mine states she has 15 days.

So she can just rack up a shit ton of bills then send a receipt at anytime and I have to pay? even if the daycare lady has not given her a receipt? |

I was in your same boat in NY. She (said she) paid her sister to watch our daughter. I asked my ex-sister in law to bill me or provide a receipt and I would pay her directly. Never happened, so I stopped paying it. I waited for the ex to take me to family court and get it ordered. The court should have included it in your support order as an add on (example: your CS payment is $500 bi weekly + your pro-rata share of the day care costs. Also, unless the care provider is a family member, the ex should be using a licensed care provider and you can argue that point to the court.)

I don't know how you're state works.....but, NEVER, EVER PAY HER ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT IS REQUIRED THRU THE COURT!!!!!!!
As said before, it don't matter unless you have a receipt. Before I got custody of my kids, I paid CS to the ex cunt thru the county circuit clerk. Plus, I made damn sure I got a receipt from the clerks office each time I paid. Cover your ass. I've heard too many horror stories of dudes getting buttfucked by the CS system because ex wife got pissed and cried dude not paying child support, and dude didn't have receipts to prove otherwise. |

View Quote every check I have written has "daycare" written on the memo line. However she has never sent me a bill, or a receipt. Basicly I have paid her based on a TXT. Radio silence for the last 3 months and daycare now all of a sudden I "owe" 700 bucks..... |

OP, the very first thing you do before ponying up any more dough is get an invoice or receipt.
Her unlicensed daycare proivider's potential tax and legal problems are none of yours. Plus, do you really want your child in the care of an unlicensed provider? if she bitches tell her to take it to the judge. |

Do you 1099 your daycare payments?

If you have been paying child support that is within the 17% of your gross income and can prove it, you should be fine. Like I said, the court should have included it as an add on to your CS payment. |

I pay the 17 plus 60% of daycare, I carry the insurance, plus have to pay 60% of uncovered medical.. View Quote Then you are just like me (except I got tagged with 70%). You should already have an amount spelled out by the court that includes the day care. The ex should have presented the court with her day care expenses when you went before the judge/magistrate. Like I mentioned earlier as an example your 17% = $500 bi-weekly + 60% of child care expenses(let's say that is $15 a day x 5 days a week to you), that equals a payment of $650 bi-weekly + the court has you carry your child on your health insurance, and you pay 60% for out of pocket medical expenses (also known as extra ordinary expenses, usually co-pays and uncovered medical/dental). You can pay the medical based on your EOB's from the insurance company or have the doctor send you a copy of the bill. ETA: Read your CS order, there is a breakdown of what you should pay and what she should pay. |

lawyer up now.. get it in the court system, the court will fuck you but... you will have a paper trail
It was the best 1500.00 I ever spent. After 4 years of giving up 49% of my take home pay,The court after petition found I was the parent that my son should live with. At the age of 5 I was granted custody of my son and waived all child support from my ex. My boy is 17 now and I would not change a thing. Good luck man the system it tilted to the wife |
|
I feel like you have to tell your ex that unless you get documents so that you can both justify and write this off, you've got to take this back to court. Don't be a jerk about it, but just explain to her that you're getting screwed by her choice of day care provider, or that you aren't comfortable with your child being in the custody of an unlicensed, uninsured day care provider who is lying to the government about their taxes. That latter argument will likely be a silver bullet if you go to court - and she/lawyer probably knows it.

baby sitting can screw a ex wife as well. i had a friend, who was paying $50.00 a week to his ex for several years.( since the day she filed for divorce, so she could work), well, she goes to court two years later, to increase her support because her ex, had a pay raise.
the judge asked what the $50.00 a week was for. she replied child care. when was your last job? TWO YEARS EARLIER. judge punched it up on a calculator, and told her, how would you like to pay your ex back this XXXX thousand dollars?? lump sum? she about shit a brick, and asked if it could be taken from her support check $10.00 a week. judge said it could come out, at $100.00 per week. it cut his support from $200.00 a week, to $100 a week. ex wife about died. |

A good lawyer will tell you if you are poking the hornet's nest. Agreed, but my feeling (and why I said 'don't be a jerk about it') is that you're going to be fine, because she's -NOT- using a childcare provider. She's paying a babysitter, maybe, but what you have is (and I think you need to specify this) unlicensed, uninsured person marketing their services as a childcare provider, and then not paying taxes on their business. We all know this happens all the time, but in this case, you need to say, effectively, 'I need a bill from a real person in order to pay this'. If you express a willingness to pay, but a concern about (A) what you are paying 'for', and (B) who is caring for your child, you're likely gonna be OK in court. You might end up paying it, but the judge probably isn't going to bend you over because you want a receipt and want to know the qualifications. You approach this as 'Hey, I'll pay for KinderCare, but who is this person who's taking care of my kid, why can't I get certs, and what am I paying for' and the Ex is far more likely to have 'splainin' to do that you are. |
