Re: contempt
You are asking about documents we do not have, and your explanation for signing the release/satisfaction is way to vague to consider. An opinion that it "won't hold up in court" is meaningless unless it came from a qualified professional, so the best thing you can do is see a lawyer who handles these cases.
Re: contempt
Just because he didn't file it then doesn't mean he can't show it to the judge if you file a contempt. Consult with a local attorney. All the documents need to be reviewed.
