You will have to file another petition asking for enforcement of the contempt citation, which could include incarceration depending on the nature of the violation. If your ex is receiving a paycheck you could ask for the amount due to be reduced to a money judgment if it has not been already, and then you could file a wage garnishment on his pay with the employer. Or if you know where he banks you could file a bank account attachment.
