There is no tort you can sue him for but you can file for contempt and have court order expenses including attorneys fees.

I would have asked for more information from the questioner. However, if one is separated from a spouse and not divorced, then I would want to know why there is no divorced already granted. Also, any court order that is ignored by anyone can result in fines and imprisonment if someone files a rule for contempt of a court order.
