share of custody evaluation

[neutron11]

We are going through a custody evaluation update and according to court order, BM is supposed to pay her percentage (around 20%). DH has been paying so far for the whole thing since BM is not interested in paying and DH is the one who really is pushing for the evaluation. Nevertheless, now the parenting evaluator is asking for more money in order to finish it and BM is asking for more hours of evaluation on the part of the evaluator. By not paying she is in contempt of the court order but do we have a case? she will claim that she doesn't  have the money (she is underemployed and working only part time). We are just tired of paying for all the expenses and her eluding her responsibility. It has been a trend for her.

Yes, when you get to court, you or your attorney should point out that Dad paid the entire bill and that it CLEARLY states in the order that she is to pay 20%.  Ask for a clear order to get reimbursed.
