Well, you could simply ask her to please start sending the bills again, and that you will cheerfully acknowledge the receipt of the bills from now on.
He must obey the court order, he was not ordered to like it.

Anyone with an ounce of brains would resist paying on an active credit card balance forever. But it must be ok to do that since the court ordered it? NOT!

Bali's soapboxing notwithstanding, OP needs to pay what he was ordered to pay and OP knows what that amount was.

In case you don't own a credit card or never have, the minimum payment amount changes every month as the card balance reduces or increases. If OP was smart enough to figure what the exact payment would be each month, he would have been smart enough to never marry her in the first place.

Bottom line: The ex-wife is being unreasonable in not providing the monthly billing statements. Period!

And he was equally unreasonable to refuse to acknowledge receipt of the billing statements. (which is why she stopped sending them).

They are both acting like 5 year olds.

My appology if I'm perhaps belaboring the issue:

She needs to know that the bill was paid and she was held harmless from the debt. He needs the billing statement to pay the minimum or more amount due to fulfill his obligation.

She sent the bill and expects it to be paid just like any vendor would. Why does she need confirmation that he received the bill? Her confirmation is that the bill was paid and she was held harmless.

Right - 5 year olds.

Minimum payments barely cover the interest, it will take him many extra years to pay down the principal.
