More details to this question:
My ex discontinued his payment on my daughter's cello education a year ago without any reason given. She has been learning it for three years. Per divorce agreement he is supposed to split the cost but he just said he was not willing to pay starting July last year. Now his wife writes me an email saying they would like to support my daughter for her continued success . She asked me where is my daughter's recital date and place. Do I need to answer?

I believe that you need to answer the inquiry unless the father is restricted from access to his daughter's activities. The failure to pay for something may be addressable in court, but it doesn't necessarily prevent the parent from sharing in his child's activities. Hoewver, if the wife is now saying they want to support the cello, then try and work something out to cover this in writing. However, try and have this done with a lawyer. Your question did not say whether there was any written court order regarding the cello payments (or a property settlement agreement) or whether this was just an agreement between yourselves.
