I would recommend hiring an experienced collections attorney or a family law attorney who could take her back to family court for contempt of court due to an apparent violation of the court order to pay something. However, all the court orders in the world will not succeed in making someone pay if they do not have the money or income to pay it, regardless of whether they are potentially jailed for contempt. Failure to pay post divorce obligations is perhaps the most common legal complaint that I run into in my legal practice and there are no easy solutions
