Child Support Papers?

I have a dilemma....

My child of 17 months is in the care of her grandmother (fathers mother) whil I work Monday through Friday. I am the ONLY parent that provides for my baby. I pay child care, and I pay for all her necessities. The only thing that her father does is brings her home in the evening when i get home from work.

Ok the problem is, I filed child support on him for the first time and the papers came in the mail stating that I need to have my child care provider feel out a form stating that I do pay for child care. With all that said the child care provider is his mother and i seriously doupt that she will sign the papers. she may feel like she's betraying her son. The thing that i messed up with is I pay her cash and sometimes with a check and i dont have receipts or anything to prove that i pay her child care.

What should I do? How should I approach her with these papers? if she refused to sign should I take my daughter out of her care?

Please Help. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Update:

YES she is watching my baby but I also pay her, a lot more then what her father is doing.

    I almost will guarantee that she will not sign the papers that is her son. A mom will not betray her son but at the same time she is not betraying you she watches your son while you work. Can't you just talk to your ex husband and find out if he can pay child support and you guys can agree on an amount rather than pulling the baby back and forth until you figure life out. Why wasn't child support taken care of before you got a divorce? everyone needs child support at some point or another life is hard. The money is not for you though it is for your son and he can ask that every dollar you spend you have a receipt to show where it all went. I have to keep receipts to prove where the money goes and it is very annoying. You could try and talk to the mom but if it goes south don't be surprised. Don't take your son from the grandparents they need to see him its very important they are involved in his life.

    You need the advice of an local attorney.
