my husband and his exwife have a pc. the court order says she had to be paid a retainer. we paid right away, the ex did not. now, about 3 years later, the pc just emailed us and said she was no longer working for us because the ex wife has not paid her. so if she can't afford it but the court ordered it she may have to pay the first time but after that she doesn't have to pay. the pc said she would turn it in to the judge, but that is it, if they can't agree on something now, it has to go to court again..... and after experiencing court, they always favor with the mothers and would likely be that she doesn't get in trouble anyway. it is contempt of court because the order states they MUST use the pc, but don't really think the judge will enforce it. just a note from personal experience. it stinks! the pc wasn't that great anyway, she sided with the mom mostly anyway, it took arguing with her to get her to make a fair decision.... and a lot of money too!!! they are $100 per hour or so. she finally made a rational decision, but it took some time and a lot of money.
