Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

What is the likely actikon a judge would take if one party to a divorce decree withdrew and spent money that was court ordered to be put in accounts for the children's college fees with both parents names on the accounts and with a stipulation that neither party could take any action on the accounts without the written approval of the other parent.

Is this a criminal action? If the person who stole the the money is unable to replace it might the judge order jail time?
