This type of question is probably the most sought after to be answered under this catagory. Yes, you have recourse. I am assuming that the responsibility was hers persuant to your divorce agreeement and that agreement was ibcorporated in to a court order, correct? Then she is in breach of the agreement - which is a contract - and in contempt of the court order. You can haul her back to court under either theory of law. Good luck.
