          If the ether is already in the contract and you do not have the functionality to transfer ether already implemented in it, the ether will be forever in the contract.



          A simple contract that receives ether and allows for transferring is shown below. Only the person that deploys the contract will be able to transfer the ether.



          pragma solidity ^0.4.24; 

          contract myContract{

          address public owner;

          constructor() public {
          owner = msg.sender;
          }

          function transfer(address to, uint256 amount) public {
          require(msg.sender==owner);
          to.transfer(amount);
          }

          function () public payable {}
          }


          Hope this helps

            You must have a function in the contract that send ether out of the contract as well. This function does not have to be payable, but would look something like:



            myAddress.transfer(address(this).balance);

              You can call the receiver.transfer(amount) to send the ether in the receivers account
