Re: settlement after 1 year divorce
Your best option is to file a Rule to Show Cause (contempt action) against him, in which he will have to explain why he is not in contempt of court. The Court's remedies can include jail time, a fine, community service, attorney's fees, etc. to "encourage" him to comply with the terms of the Order.
It is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
