More details to this question:
Let say there's a divorce condition where the 2 couple are not suppose to touch any of their business earnings. But one of the couple decides to violate that. Is this a crime? What kind of crime did he do if this is a crime? And if that couple have worked with another person with the business earning, does that outside person also violate some kind of law? What are the correct step in dealing with this?

I need more information, but, once divorced, a party who takes the property awarded to the other party is a thief.

It is not a crime but it might constitute civil contempt and subject the one who violates the order to a fine and 5 days in jail for each count of contempt for which there is a conviction.
