Assuming your husband owes his "ex" money for unpaid child support, she could file a petition against him for an order to show cause for contempt of a court order. If found in contempt of a court order, your spouse could be fined or even placed in jail. I suggest that he consult with a family law attorney for assistance in getting the matter that you have written about resolved before there is an adverse result.
