Contempt for what? You're paying her as ordered, right?

Unfortunately, if she isn't cashing the checks he doesn't have proof of payment. So he could have a problem unless he finds some way to prove that he is sending the money.

If he still lives in MA, then yes, she would have to file for contempt in MA.

Dyeman, I hope that you are not playing any games with the checks or how you send them.

I agree, it would be a cold day in hell that she wouldn't cash the free ride checks.

Oh drat...yes, I hadn't even thought of that.
