Is it alimony or just the settlement for cash you had in your divorce? You can be held in contempt for not paying that amount. A judge first has to find you in contempt though. So your ex would have to file a motion to show cause and bring you to court to prove you haven't paid yet. Depending on what you owe, you may be able to change the amount due to a change in circumstances and modify the divorce decree.
