$2,112?! GRANDPARENTS DEMAND CHILDCARE MONEY! JUDGE RULES!

What happens when grandparents provide childcare for their grandchildren—but the child’s father refuses to pay the amount they are charging? In Nelson v. Perry, Linda and Floyd Nelson sought payment from their daughter’s ex-husband, Bill Perry, for his court-ordered 60% share of childcare expenses. The grandparents charged $880 per month, while Perry challenged the amount and argued that he preferred an alternative childcare arrangement. The court examined whether the claimed childcare expense was reasonable and considered evidence that another babysitter had previously offered comparable care for $440 per month. The judge ultimately ordered Perry to pay 60% of the reasonable $440 monthly rate—$264 per month—for eight months, totaling $2,112, with payments continuing going forward. This courtroom dispute raises an important question: when parents are required to share childcare costs, should they be responsible for any provider’s price, or only a reasonable and supportable amount? Watch until the end to hear the judge’s final ruling and see how the $880 monthly demand was reduced to a $2,112 total judgment. What do YOU think about the ruling? Was $880 too much, or should Perry have been responsible for the grandparents’ full childcare rate?
