Your only recourse is to pursue contempt of court against your ex. You will need to file with the court an Order to Show Cause in order to have a hearing on your contempt of court claim. Call the court clerk and have the clerk schedule the hearing. List the date, time and department of the hearing in your Order to Show Cause.
When filing your Order to Show Cause with the court, also file a declaration signed under penalty of perjury stating the facts in support of your contempt of court claim. Also, file any additional documents or other items if applicable, that will provide supporting evidence of your contempt of court claim. File all these documents with the court and a proof of service (court form).
After filing your documents with the court, mail a copy of those items with a proof of service to your ex so that your ex will have notice of the hearing. The proof of service verifies the date of mailing your court-filed documents.
Prior to filing your documents with the court, ask the court clerk if there are any other required documents that need to be filed for a contempt of court claim because the required documents may vary from state to state.
