Divorce was final a few months ago. Property settlement included a transfer of funds from ex's IRA to mine and a cash payment all to be completed within 30 days of the order. This has not happened. Ex keeps saying it takes time but hasn't made any efforts to start the process. There is no child support or alimony order.
Questions:
1. Do I have to file a court action to get this finalized and, if so, which court or courts?
2. What would make him follow that court order any more than he followed the settlement order? Would the court order have any more meat?
3. Are the findings of the court regarding property distribution modifiable if he says he no longer has the money?
4. If he were to die before making good on the court order, would I be considered a creditor and, if so, how far down on the list of creditors?
5. Are there any non-court ideas that are effective to get a property settlement finaliazed?
6. Do I have any way of finalizing this if he continues to refuse to honor the court order?
7. Are there any enforcement measures that are used with settlement resolution similar to those used with child support enforcement?
