Sounds like you are being slow-played by an evasive party and a lawyer that is not subject to the jurisdiction of this court. Your question asks how you can make people behave and obey. Short answer -- you can't. All you can do is make the alternatives less pleasant than doing what they are supposed to do.
You don't say which court ordered precisely what. If it is a Nevada court, then there are intercepts, sequestrations, advance payments for future installments, etc., all of which can be requested in litigatation, or negotiated, but the "do-it-yourself" approach, however unfortunately, does not tend to be successful.
You need competent collections counsel. If the case is here, contact competent counsel NOW, and get things in motion. If the case is California, contact counsel there. But from your description, you need legal assistance, and you need it now.
