Since none of us here has read the exact language of your papers, no one here can answer you unless we read the paperwork first. The lawyer who represented you in your divorce would be the best person to ask.
You should have a local attorney review the order. If your ex is not complying with the order, a motion for contempt should be filed to force him to comply. You may also be entitled to reimbursement if you paid for expenses that he was ordered to pay.
