Text: In June 2004, the superior court ordered DeJeaux to provide dental insurance for Camerin. In August 2006, Phyllis incurred $232 in dental bills for Camerin arising from a routine cleaning and cavity filling. DeJeaux claimed that he had Camerin covered by insurance at that time; the court ordered DeJeaux to show proof of insurance, but DeJeaux did not comply. The parties addressed this issue at a hearing in May 2007. The court then ordered DeJeaux to show proof of insurance, and to reimburse Phyllis for the $232 that would likely have been covered by a dental plan. At a July 2008 hearing, Phyllis alleged that DeJeaux had not yet paid her the money. DeJeaux responded that he had paid by money order but did not have a receipt or any other proof of payment. The court ordered DeJeaux to pay the $232 and show proof of payment. In February 2009, Phyllis filed a motion for contempt, alleging that DeJeaux still had not complied with the court order to pay her the $232. DeJeaux again responded that he had paid, but still produced no proof of payment. At an April 2009 hearing, DeJeaux was evasive on the subject of proof of payment, but continued to claim he had already paid. By the hearing on April 23, 2009, DeJeaux still had not provided proof of payment. An order on Phyllis's motion for contempt was issued on May 20, 2009, two weeks after her appeal was filed. [6]
