Hopefully you did your case with a lawyer as your lawyer will have written into the paperwork what can be done if this didn't happen. If you did your divorce pro se (which is always a huge mistake) you likely did not think of such remedies and you may have lessened your ability to enforce the settlement. Either way, you need to see a lawyer to determine what to file or do. Your tools will be far better if you had a lawyer at the time.
The easiest step is to send a letter (certified amil/return receipt) of the contempt.
Thereafter, file a petition for contempt. In the divorce decree there should have been a provision that sets forth a remedy for the failure to comply with the decree.
If you don't already have a lawyer, I am available to discuss the matter further.
