What is the exact wording of your court order, please take out the names.

It says I must pay the $215.00 a month for as long as he is in daycare. Thats all it states.

It does not say that exactly. If you don't want to give us the information we ask for, we can't help.

I dont have the paper with me but it says "for as long as said child is in daycare" since hes not and hasnt been in daycare I shouldnt have to pay and she should have to pay me back, right?

Maybe, maybe not. You need to look at the wording around that phrase as well.

How old is the child, how much time do you spend with him, and how is it you didn't know sooner?

Hes 8. I get him everyother weekend even though im suppose to get him during the week but she decided to move over an hour away so I cant see him during the week. I have been asking since september for proof of daycare she kept telling me she would get it to me. My son has said he doesnt go to daycare. Now that, im asking for the money back she s as id he is starting daycare next week.

Sorry, but she is allowed to do that.

What is she allowed to do? Im court ordered to have him during the week but dont get to because of her.

Go pick up your child for your alloted time during the week. Only you are stopping you.

They live over an hour away and I only get him from 5 to 7. It is impossible to do it I work until 430 everyday so by the time I got there it would be almost 6 and he has to be home an hour later. That doesnt even give me time to take him anywhere.

Then file for a change of parenting plan.

And if you really want an answer on your other question, we still need the exact wording of your order. You'd be surprised at how many people tell us what they THINK their order says, but when they dig it out, it says something entirely different.

You say "she decided" to move an hour away. The only way "she decided" is because YOU allowed her to move one way or another.

We wouldn't know that until he finds his papers.
