Ex hasn't payed alimony, not sure how to proceed

divorce attorney Washington Nov 12, 2026
Location: Washington. The divorce was filed in January of this year. The judge ordered him to pay $800 a month for six months. He's paid me a total of $650. With him owing $4,150 still, I'm not entirely sure how to proceed on this. He's now paid a hefty sum to put a rock on his woman's hand and he bought her a car. So to say that he doesn't have the means to pay me... Things just aren't adding up. He pays his child support. But has no contact with us otherwise. So should I write up an email asking him to pay before I go to the courts? Should I just go to the courts and blindside him? Should I just say forget about the whole thing?
