Q: Can my ex be responsible to pay for running up my legal fees due to violating the Order of Protection

My ex violated the OP by sending me a letter and now his lawyer is emailing and sent letter to my lawyer with crazy demands. It feels like to punish me for reporting the violation. They are expecting me to give my ex my banking info so he does not have to mail me support monthly. What they are asking is not even allowed by the bank. I can't afford the legal fees that are being incurred and feel my ex husband should be responsible for them since he was the one that created this mess due to his lack of self control. He sent me a demanding letter with my 2nd support payment; the 1st support payment he made out to my maiden name and I was not able to cash it at my bank. His lawyer and my lawyer are back and forth and I need help getting this under control and have him just mail the support like the MSA states without costing me more money. We were married 39 years and I am a caregiver to my special needs son and do not work. His lawyer and him know I have very limited resources
