...get an attorney first. Second, you will need to have the venue changed. This should be easy, since your ex is an attorney in the area, and could have undue influence in the court.

Why give a "senior" discount, they have had plenty of time to raise the money...

Most definitely!! I am doing both things come the new year! I just want the holidays to be ok with my wife! and her son! I am just asking if anyone knows a good (not to expensive LOL) Family Attorney on the south shore or north shore as i could call there and get a referral!! This is ridiculous! I have always helped my boys, the oldest one (22) lives with me. When they were younger I paid child support with no problems, I took them on my weekends and days no problem. But this is just crazy!!!

that knowing all this about how the system works in your area, and about your exwife's connections...you wouldn't have placed yourself in a position where a contempt charge could have been brought. It's all about choices...you didn't have to be in contempt; you gambled; you lost; you pay the price.

thanks Melody for the support!! I was not in contempt for his educational expenses, i have paid 1/2 his tuition and for books and other expenses. I still feel the system ALL over the country is not fair at times. Yes i will get an attorney and see that outcome! But i still feel my son should grow up and even tell his mother she is wrong for all these expenses. He works, he only goes to school 3 days a week. Life is not fair, but life is not free either.

Right I guess I put myself in the position, but I still feel paying for his car, car insurance, food, cable, is not educational expenses!! Do you!

That isn't what she said..
Look.... let's make this easy...... Help us on these questions.. okay???
1) WHAT does your CO say in regards to CS and extra expenses such as college, car, insurance.....Don't leave anything out.. infact.. if you could type it out verbatim that willl be useful... just take out the names.
2) WHAT was the actual contempt on??? You say you pay these things... so what was it on? they can't file contempt on something you are doing....If you have anything on that.. type that out... again... leave out names.
3) You say this was the first contempt, which I find really ODD... there are some on this board who's ex's are more than 100K in arrears and THEY are FINALLY being hit with contempt charges, etc. I understand your ex is an attorney..... and I am all to familiar with the courts and the "good ole boy system". But.. explain to me how you got the contempt so quickly...... have you had other warnings.....

1. My div. agr. states I should pay for 1/2 for educational expenses!!!!! nothing specifically broken down, which is the basic in div. agr. (my new wife's says the same). So I take this as 1/2 tuition, books and room and board. I already said I would pay for the rent! but he was supposed to get a roommate. I have already paid 1/2 his tuition and books for the past 2 years. (he is in 2nd year of college.
2. The contempt was for educational expenses. Ex had it listed, rent, heat, electric, cable, car, car insurance, car repairs, food - total $+-5K. You can file a contempt on anything you want to, then u both go to court and see who gets what or what agreement you come to. So you ask what the contempt was it was educational expenses. YES I was not paying his rent. I will agree to that, I wanted him to stay at the dorm or live at home with his mother or me and commute - its not that far.
3. Yes this was my first contempt! She has never pulled me back in for anything when he was younger. I have always paid my c.support. I just wanted to put my foot down on an apartment. my wife's ex owed her over $15K and they went to court and he didn't get thrown in jail. So yes if u know people that helps u for that, as i have said my ex knows everyone. I don't understand why you find this my first contempt really ODD. It is my first contempt. Ex wants her money back for sept. thru dec. for the rent, heat, electric, cable, food, car, car insurace car repairs. Like I said I know the system pretty good too and u can pull your ex in anytime for contempt its the part of proving who is right or wrong and come to an agreement. She filed the contempt beginning of december took 2 weeks for a court date. Just like my wife and her ex, he files a contempt on her 2 weeks later she has court date. It doesn't t ake long to get a court date on a contempt in massachusetts. U just go in and file! 2 weeks is roughly when your date is!
Any more info you need. Like i said i would't mind paying for half the rent if he got a roommate, but my other problem is why can't he commute, if we were still married he would be commuting! Thanks!

Let me rephrase... JAIL time for 1st contempt is really.. really unheard of..... especially when you could show you were paying for things... there is a difference of opinion.. but you were paying...
Something is not adding up..... and sorry... but I just don't buy it.. maybe someone else can help you.
