I'm having a bit of a problem with your wording. By 'maintenance fees' do you mean simply court-ordered payments of spousal support? I think that's probably what you have in mind. If someone is disobeying a court order, the usual practice is to file a motion (in whatever form the courts of your jurisdiction favour) to have him held in contempt. You can also ask that he be required to pay your attorney's fees. It's best to do this with a capable matrimonial lawyer.

If he has been ordered, in your final judgement to pay you maintenance and he is not doing so, he is in violation of a court order. You should contact an attorney to discuss your options of how to take him back to court.
