Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
On 9/30/09 in a court order I was suppose to provide the ex with proof that I have been paying the college tuition that he is ordered to pay me. I didn't send it in this timeframe and he emailed me sunday saying if he does not have it by this wednesday he will call the courts to see what he can do. I am 99% sure that they will just tell him to file a contempt papers, have me served, get court date, etc. We have a January court date on his arrears (a continuation of the Sept date). Having been threatened with a date I will send it Thursday/Friday don't like threats cause I've spent the last 10 years in court for his lack of paying, following court order, etc. I just want to be 110% sure nothing will happened to me if I wait a few more days. I didn't do this on purpose working 2 jobs, personal issues going on. I also lost his new address which I asked for in response to his email on Sunday which I still have not received

Well it is not almost the end of October, and technically you waited too long.
If you have the proof, send it.
If you have questions, contact me.
If you have an e-mail address, scan the proof and e-mail it. Makle sure that you keep a copy of the e-mail.
Your violation isn't going to get him much traction if he is constantly in arrears.
