You should send the bills to your ex husband via certified mail and with a cover letter stating how much he owes to you. As you suggest, you should definitely indicate in the letter that he has a reasonable amount of time (i.e. 30 days) to remit payment to you. If CSU will not help at that point, you could always return to Family Court and file a violation of support petition to force him to pay.
