Ex is refusing to provide copies of our daughter's (6yrs old) Educ. IRA account, because I haven't contributed to the account. Our MSA states he is to provide copies to me to ensure the money is not being taken out and transferred into our daughter's half-sister's account. He is also refusing to pay the agreed 1/2 of her extracurricular activities (which is $30) per month. I don't make a whole lot of money and am not wasting what I earn or receive in c/s. I barely have enough to make ends meet each month due to the rise in cost of all the normal expenses (rent, food, gas, etc) to set aside any additional money into an Educ. IRA at this particular point. Our daughter has health issues and her two extracurricular activities are things she enjoys tremendously, and at the same time are helping with her health issues. I do care about her education now and the in the future, and if I have to I have no problem matching his contributions. I don't know if his refusing to provide me the copies as well as refusing to pay for the activities would be considered a breach in our agreement or not, and don't know if i should let it all go and not bother taking him back to court over this. FYI he is 44 yrs old living with his mother rent free, while my daughter and I are living in an apartment.
His refusal to provide you with the copies of the education IRA per the court order (once your agreement was signed off on by the judge, it became a court order) is contempt of court. So is not paying the extracurricular activities.
What you can do is file contempt of court charges against him. Here is what you can ask for:
That you are put legally in charge of the IRA. You will need a very specific court order for this.
Your legal fees.
That he pays you his portion of the extracurricular activities.
How is the tax exemption handled? If it is alternated or he gets it every year, you can ask that he doesn't get it if he isn't current on ALL of his financial obligations by 12/31 of any year. That may be an incentive for him to pay what he agreed to.
