Re: contempt of court divorce decree settlement
If he did not pay you the final settlement payment due Sept. 1, 2008, then, yes you can file the "motion for contempt" form, post judgment. Remember that you must serve him by marshal with the motion after you get a court date from the clerk.
As far as the "missing money" issues, if you knew about this prior to your divorce being finalized, then it is most likely too late to complain about it now. If you just found out about it, six years later, then maybe you still have a claim.
You should talk to a lawyer.
