Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Contempt child support

I have an 11 year old son. I finally got his father to take the DNA test, which proved him the father. We went to court 5 weeks ago, he was ordered to pay support as well as cover him on medical and dental. He still has not complied. He was in contemt once already for not complying with the order for the DNA test, once comtempt was filed he went. So I filed a contempt charge on non payment as well as not putting our son on medical. Also when we were in court he told the judge he never knew of my son until recently, we have talked ever the years about my son, and he has seen him a few times when he was a baby, but he got married and never told his family of my son. since our hearing I got copies from my previous atty of all the times he spoke with my son's father since 1996, should I bring these to court? What will happen when we do go to court on the contempt charge?
