You should get a wage garnishment order. You should consult a family law attorney or facilitator to assist you.

You should be able to file a motion for contempt and enforcement. If you are uncertain how to do this and set it for hearing with the Judge, you should hire an attorney to assist you.

Sounds like you have a temporary spousal support order. If your husband is not following it a motion can be filed to find him in contempt for his failure to pay. Please consult with an experienced family law attorney.

You can return to Court and get an Order to have the back and future support payments automatically taken out of his pay checks.

If the judge ordered spousal support and it is not being paid then the correct avenue is to go back to the court and seek that he be held in contempt. You should discuss this with your attorney, and if you do not have one, in a case such as this which is complicated by a family business, you really need to engage one now.
