When we went to court,my kids dad was told he was to pay off the electric bill,before his name was taken off the contract.Instead he just pay very little of it,which left us with a 800.00 bill.Ever since I have not been able to catch it up.I am raising our 4 children all by myself ,no help from dad.There just isn't enough money,and everyday i am being threatened with shutoffs

If your kids' dad has intentionally violated a Court order, he can be held in contempt of court and forced, on pain of being jailed, to pay the bill.
