Money Owed In Divorce

My ex husband and I divorced in 1996. We've been married for almost 5 yrs. In the final judgement he's supposed to give me $5,000. He asked me if he could pay me in installment and I agreed. He has only given me in total $450, and the last checked that I have received from him was in 1998. Could I still go after the money that he owed me? Is there a statue of limitation regarding the time lapsed? Thank You.
