[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a nanny and worked for a family like this through their divorce. Dad felt that mom was wasting his money and wouldn’t pay because he believed it was all unnecessary.

Doctor bills: mom preferred a more expensive holistic doctor to treat the kid’s chronic asthma, so dad refused to pay.  Dad did not seek alternatives that were less expensive, did not make any appointments or manage any treatments, and in fact did not even give them meds during overnights, leading to at least one asthma attack.

The kid was diagnosed with autism.  Dad didn’t believe that autism is real, so he refused to pay for any therapy, tutoring, medication, etc.

Dad didn’t care about extracurriculars so he didn’t pay for them.[/quote]

Not parents were neglectful.  Mom should have taken child to a regular doctor.  It doesn't sound like child had real medications and you cannot blame Dad for not giving holistic medications.  Dad may have not been allowed to do the appointments or anything else per the court order.  If Dad only had 1 over night a week there may not have been time.  The real issue is why didn't you take the child to the doctor appointments and schedule them as needed if you were caring for the child.

If mom got child support, most of that should be included.[/quote]

Both parents and nanny were neglectful.[/quote]
