Question:
I hired an avrech to learn with my son.
He told me his price and I agreed.
My intention was to use his service until I found someone cheaper.
Two weeks later, I found a cheaper option.
I told him I'd like to terminate our deal.
He feels I have to pay him till the end of the zman since he won't find another talmid.
I feel, the same way I found an avrech now, he can also be found by a talmid.
Also, I never committed to paying him till Tisha b'Av.
We never discussed the duration of our deal.
What should I do?
Thanks
Answer:
This is something that has to be discussed in front of a dayan with both sides present. If you would like, you can set up a phone conference with the Bais Din, at 972-2-502-3637 ext. 1. it is also possible to have a dayan that speaks english.
Best wishes
