Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut

My Ex has filed a Motion of Contempt against me for not reimbursing her for College Expenses for our minor child who is entering his freshman year. I do not dispute my obligation to do so, but am unemployed and unable to do it on her terms. Our divorce agreement specifically states that "The Parties will revisit the matter of providing for the post HS educational commitment, at such time that the minor will attend post HS education. Since no specific order exists, how do I defend myself against these charges.

You can not be found in contempt if there is no specific order in place that indicates how much, if anything, you are required to pay.

If you are unable to pay for college at this time than that is your argument to the court.
