Q: Need help with insurance compliance for minor due to ex withholding SSN and show cause notice.

I'm facing a legal issue where my ex-wife has failed to provide my son's Social Security number, preventing me from adding him to my insurance plan. I've attempted to communicate with her lawyer via email but have received no response, and I'm legally restricted from contacting my ex-wife directly. Consequently, I've received a show cause notice for failing to provide insurance to a minor, and I must appear in court on April 25th. What steps can I take to resolve this issue and ensure compliance with the insurance requirement?
