I am an American who came to France to be an Au Pair. The family refuses to pay me what they owe me, and when I try to talk to them about my contract, they end up screaming at me. On Saturday, I told the mom that if she was going to keep yelling at me, instead of being a reasonable, rational adult, I was going to leave. She threatened to call the police on me. I want to know if anyone else has had a similar experience, and what recourse I have. I have tried looking on line for French Au Pair laws, and have had little success in finding them. I am also pregnant, and this situation has gotten out of control. I just want my money, and I want to get out of here, as quickly as possible. Any suggestions? I have spoken with the American Embassy, and will be speaking to an attorney today. If anyone had similar experiences, or knows anything about French laws, or even where to find them, I would really apppreciate it.
