You may file an action in court to enforce the terms of the court's order, but that does not mean you will prevail or that it will be worth your effort to do so. There are a number of ways you could proceed. For example, you could file a motion for clarification and enforcement of the court's order. In the motion you could request that the court clarify that if the mother is not entitled to keep the money that was to be applied to insurance coverage. You would ask for clarification because the court's order did not directly address what would happen if the mother obtained medicaid for the children. In addition to seeking clarification, you could request that the court order the mother to return the money she pocketed. The judge will have discretion as to whether he or she will find that the mother disobeyed the court's order and whether the mother must return the money to you. If you retain an attorney to represent you, then you may pay more in fees that you would receive in reimbursement from the mother. If you proceed on your own, then you should review any rules set forth in Nevada Revised Statutes and Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure that could apply to your case.
