Daycare Pricing And Discrimination

Summary

Daycare centers in Michigan can set their own pricing policies, including part-time rates for separate accounts, as long as they comply with contractual agreements and do not discriminate based on marital status. If a family requests two separate accounts due to a custody order, charging each parent part-time rates may not be discriminatory if it reflects the separate accounts. However, if other separated families are allowed one account and charged differently, it could potentially be seen as marital discrimination. Reviewing the daycares policy and seeking legal advice can help ensure compliance and avoid potential discrimination issues.

Could it be marital discrimination if we dont charge other seperated families that hold one account, but this family holds two accounts at their request?
In Michigan, marital discrimination occurs when individuals are treated differently based on their marital status. If other separated families are allowed one account and charged differently, while this family is charged more solely because they have two accounts, it could potentially be seen as discriminatory. However, if the pricing reflects the separate accounts requested by the parents, it may not be discriminatory. It would be wise to consult the daycare's policy and possibly seek legal advice to ensure compliance.
