Hello.
The relevant divorce applies to two people with health issues that prompts the need for lawful representation for both of them -- i.e. full power of attorney for family members, of which I am the one for the alimony recipient.
The representative for the alimony payer (one of his daughters) has been consistently reasonably delinquent at least in terms of payment timing (including my constant need to communicate with her to send payment), which prompted my tone to change to that of an emotionless legal representative (purely mature, including firm and to the point -- similar to my tone here).
That change surprisingly led to an explosive and messy response that included declaring the ability to use whatever payment service she wanted.
After telling her that Zelle does not work with the recipient's bank account, she quickly blocked my phone number, and then hastily used Zelle for the most recent payment anyway -- so the payment never arrives.
I verified that inability via email correspondence with Zelle's customer service.
Is she right to declare and insist that we have to change banks to accommodate her payment preference (i.e. she only needs to click 'submit' wherever she wants to meet her legal obligation), or does Massachusetts law in effect provide leverage for us to counter her apparently questionable position on this front?
Thank you in advance.
