Re: deadbeat dad

Childcare expenses are usually included in the support order. Your friend needs to continue pressing for payment. Is DCSS involved? They do a pretty good job of collecting from deadbeats.

Your legal action is against your friend. So if she gets the money (and she might be getting it without your knowledge) then she must pay you. Good luck.
