What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

So I was sued and agreed to a settlement. The advasary's attorney has a history of accidently not recieving important documents.

So I have been sending monthly payments to the the agreed upon in the settlement (the attorney). The agreement states if I miss a payment then I give permission to the advasary's attorney to access my records and enter a judgement against me, and that I agree to faster payments than what is scheduled.

So right now I mail my check into an envelope with certified mail. Therefore they will have to sign for it to prove I sent it. However, I feel the advasary's attorney may claim one day that they did recieve a certified mail letter but there was no check inside. The burden would be upon me to prove I put the check in there and that check was recieved by the attorney.

I think that would be extremely cruel to do. However, how could I prove otherwise? As it stands, I photocopy the check and envelope as a record, keep a reciept for the certified mail slip and a receipt of the purchase.

Is there another way I can prove the check is in the envelope? Can I go to a notary and have something stamped or some public servant verify that the envelope does contain the check and sign something? In case I had to go back to court for breach of contract, I could certainly prevail since the advasary's attorney would be conducting abusive litigation?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

You should have arranged for an escrow account, rather than dealing in personal checks.

Escrow Wire

Is it too late to arrange a escrow account? If the agreement sends to make payment to Mr. John Doe at XXX Land, XXXville, USA, 12345.

I'm in my early 20s and didn't realize all the things I should of known. I didn't realize I had to look out for this post-litigation stuff.

If I doing a wire or escrow not possible under the agreement, ergarding a personal check, what can I do?
