Can I do this on my own?

Soc,

I know I've discussed this issue before but I really don't know what to do.  In my D judgment I was granted one of our vehicles.   My X was to turn the title over to me 1 week after the note was paid in full.  The note was paid almost 6months ago and she refuses to turn over the title.  I'm so frustrated that if I could afford to I'd just buy a new car, but I can't afford it.  I've been complaining about this to my attorney for so long I can't remember and all I keep getting is, "I'm working on it".  

1)Why is this taking so long?  Shouldn't this be fairly easy to resolve?
2)Can I do this on my own and if so how?

Yep, it's easy to solve. You send a demand notice to the other party to comply with the court's previous order within 10 days, or you will file for contempt.


>2)Can I do this on my own and if so how?

You have the right to do it yourself. Whether you can or not depends on your legal skills. Go to your county law library and find a civil practice guide and read how to file for contempt.
