Ex-wife not honoring property division of divorce decree

in my divorce, my ex-wife agreed to pay 460.00 per month on a vehicle loan that was financed in my name. she said she need the vehicle because it was safe and dependable for the transportation of our children. i have already taken her back to court once for non payment and recieved a garnishment but not very much since. she currently owes me over 9000.00 and the loan is current and will be paid off by me in march of this year. i also know that she has not had possession of this vehicle from 6 months after our divorce. i have asked frequently for these payments and also sent her a certified letter with no response. we have joint custody of the children and she avoids me at every opportunity. what do i do next?
