How do you know there are three lawyers in the thread? I did not see any disclosure of such.[/quote]

14:26 is clearly a lawyer.  I am another one, and I agree with her post.  19:13 and 6:20 (our resident comma lady) is clearly not qualified to opine on the matter.[/quote]
Oh great! Link us to some court cases where nannies have been forced, by a judge or jury, to uphold their end of an "enforceable contract". TIA

Out of the "three" brilliant legal
 minds on this thread, not one of you has ever heard of such a court case, that you can recall?
Oh my....[/quote]
If there ever was such a case, it'd be headline news. And certainly everyone here would remember it.

So cute about the silly shyster lawyer who would charge $10,000. to verify that. She must have some super dumb ass clients who would pay her a dime for anything.

I'm not a lawyer and I really hate how lawyers charge thousands of dollars for a few minutes of work, however, what you were asking them to do was actually really time consuming.  I don't think that lawyers response was polite or necessary but then neither was the poster who asked them to look up the information in the first place.

I also would disagree that if there was a case like this that it would be headline news.  You're not talking about a million dollar settlement and I highly doubt the major news sources would be interested.  In addition, just because most people don't sue over a nanny contract doesn't mean they can't.  Legal fees are expensive and may not be worth the cost and hassle when the return may not be that great.  BUT nannies and employers should both be careful if you break something that is specified in a contract.  Some people might just be angry enough to sue and they COULD win.[/quote]
