Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

I have a court case in 2 days, there are numerous financial terms of my divorce, as well quite a bit of backed child support. I had medical emergencies, and my son with my fiance was born 3 months early, and she was in the hospital in critical care. I am a carpenter and I always have a difficult winter. So my question is, I am backed up almost 10,000 on child support. I have a letter in to modify the amount of $375 a week for one child, and i am in the process of setting up a payment plan with DCF. Should I pay the uninsured medical expenses with the money i have now to her, or should i make a child support payment? I can't afford to do both in two days. Also, I am going for contempt of court in 2 days, so this is something I really need advice on.

It's usually better to make a payment on whatever the contempt is about because it shows you're making an effort to resolve that issue.
