What is the name of your state? Az

We got a letter from hubbies ex about a month ago telling us we needed to pay for certain medical bills. We sent her the requested amount as well as some pictures that the kids asked us to send to them when they were developed. I got the letter back today with the certified note saying that she refused to sign for it. Do we need to send this letter back? Per the court order he has to pay his 1/2 within 30 days and the 30 day mark is in about3 days. Since she refused to sign for it can we just keep the money order? It is for over 300.00 so it would be nice to get that money back but I want to know if he will get in trouble for not paying mom. She didn't know what was in the envelope but she still refused to sign for it once she saw who it was from.

Put the letter in a desk or safety deposit box or a shoe box and wait. WHEN she tries telling a judge that you did not pay the bill trot out the shoe box, the safety deposit box or the desk and stuff the letter, unopened and with the refusal to accpet under her nose.

So I pretty much have to kiss the money goodbye? Not a big deal but it would be nice to actually get the money back and I don't know if there is a time frame in which the money order has to be used. I would hate to not get to present the letter in court for a long time and then when i finally do get to open it I can't case the money order because it is expired.
I was wondering if perhaps he should he the letter that he sent along with the money order (that stated that payment was enclosed) notorized and send it one more time and then if she doesn't sign for it again go ahead and cash the order.

none of this matters. You know you owe the debt and the money is not yours. You cash the money and use it for your own and she has grounds for contempt of a court order. You'll show up in court with an empty envelope and lose ...

Keep it just the way it is.
