What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington
My Ex has not paid the court ordered spousal support, any suggestions on where to start. Will I need to get another attorney? Or can I just file something with the court? He paid the child support as ordered then our last child graduated in June and I got a text from him basically saying "good luck with making me pay support". He has also moved out of state since June as well. Do I have any options?

You can file for him to be held in contempt. However, if you delayed too long, your ability to collect might be impaired. How long ago was he supposed to pay spousal support?
