What is the name of your state? Iowa
A little background history: My 21 yr old daughter who is 4 months pregnant has been recently charged with a felony charge of meth possession. She is single, unemployed, and a high school drop-out. She has been battling with drug addiction since she was 14 years old. We have been in and out of the courts since she was 14 and I have always been the one to cry to the judge not to take her from me and that we would work this out. Things always got better "for a while". Anyway, after she turned 18 years old, we had her court records sealed and she stayed out of trouble for a while, besides a few driving with no license charges... until now...
Her lawyer says that she will likely get off with probation, but he has suggested that she enroll in a treatment program "voluntarily" before her court date in July. She has no money to pay for this. And I have already paid for treatment one time when she was 16. My husband refuses to help because we have already helped to many times in the past. I can still give her the money myself. I somewhat agree with my husband, but I am in great fear for my soon to be grandchild.
I have told my daughter that I will "loan" her the money this time instead of "giving" it to her and ONLY if she signs a contract that says that I will consider the loan paid in full ONLY if she gets a GED and then a JOB (She has no worries about childcare, as I work from home and am looking forward to caring for the baby while she completes her GED and while she works.)... If she doesn't do both of these things I told her that... "I will be like those people on day-time tv court and sue her for the cost of the treatment." My daughter has agreed.
Do you know of any links that you could point me to a simple contract that I could adapt to what I need?
My apologies for the length and thank you in advance.
