Legal Question in Family Law in California

At our last hearing my ex was ordered to return overpayment of child support. At that time her attorney stated, "she has the money and can return it within days". Since then my ex has made no attempt to return the money. I contacted her attorney who now says he no longer represents her. How long is considered reasonable to wait for her to return the money? And if she doesn not, what options do I have to enforce the Court's order? Thank you?

Make sure the court's order was in writing. If she was present at the hearing, you don't have a problem enforcing the order through contempt. If she was not present, you are going to have to have her personally served with a copy of that order before you can pursue contempt proceedings.
