Your recourse is to pursue contempt of court against your ex. File an Order to Show Cause for the contempt of court hearing. Call the court clerk to schedule the hearing before filing the Order to Show Cause. With the Order to Show Cause, also file your declaration signed under penalty of perjury stating the facts supporting your contempt of court claim and also any documents or other supporting evidence along with a proof of service. After filing your documents with the court, mail a copy of them to your ex. The proof of service verifies the date of mailing and provides notice to your ex of thecontempt of court hearing.
Prior to filing your documents with the court, ask the court clerk if any additional documents are required for contempt of court because the required documents may vary from state to state.
