Robert P. Rubicco: Criminal, Liar, Fraud, Daycare Operator: Table of Contents
NEW ROCHELLE, NY (January 19, 2026) — Intuit Payroll Services filed a motion in June 2025 to renew a 2015 default judgment against New Rochelle daycare operators Robert P. Rubicco and Christina Rubicco, only to discontinue the action two months later after the judgement was fully satisfied.
The renewal complaint was filed June 17, 2025, in Westchester County Supreme Court under Index No. 65380/2025. It sought to extend the lien on the original Nov. 18, 2015, judgment (Index No. 52204/2015) before its 10-year expiration, pursuant to CPLR §5014(1).
According to the filing, after applying credits and 9% post-judgment interest, Robert Rubicco owed $71,322.72 and Christina Rubicco owed $61,174.00, with no payments received since the original judgment. The complaint noted the couple’s ownership of real property at 3 Kensington Oval in New Rochelle and requested a new 10-year lien.
The underlying 2015 case involved allegations of fraud and breach of contract against Anna’s Treehouse, LLC—the Rubiccos’ daycare business—as well as Robert and Christina Rubicco individually. Court records show the Rubiccos, listed as the company’s sole “employees,” received $85,523.78 in payroll advances that were not reimbursed because of insufficient funds. The default judgment awarded Intuit principal damages, 18% contractual interest and attorneys’ fees. The total amount satisfied in August 2025 exceeded $195,825, including accrued interest.
The summons in the 2025 renewal action was served on the Rubiccos at their New Rochelle residence, requiring a response within 20 to 30 days. No answer was filed. Attorneys for Intuit, Stein & Stein, LLP, then prepared for another default judgment.
On Aug. 8, 2025, attorney William M. Stein submitted affirmations stating the statute of limitations had not expired and confirming neither defendant was in active military service, based on status reports from the U.S. Department of Defense Manpower Data Center. The reports, also dated Aug. 8, 2025, showed:
- Christina Rubicco (DOB: February 1983): Not on active duty, no recent separation and no future call-up notification.
- Robert Paul Rubicco (DOB: July 1983): Not on active duty, no recent separation and no future call-up notification.
On Aug. 20, 2025, Stein filed a Notice of Discontinuing Action without costs to either party, ending the renewal proceeding. An affidavit of service confirmed the notice was mailed to the Rubiccos the same day.
The voluntary discontinuance coincided with the reported satisfaction of the 2015 judgment, suggesting the Rubiccos paid the full amount to avoid further enforcement or lien renewal. A partially completed Bill of Costs form was included in the court file but listed no amounts.
