More details to this question:
He was to sign the deed to the house over to me in the divorce. He refused so I had to take him back to court. He was ordered to sign it and pay my legal expenses (only a portion sadly for me). He signed the deed but refuses to pay me the monies the judge ordered he pay. I paid over $20,000.00 to divorce him. I want what he owes me.

You should file a Petition for Rule to Show Cause against him for violating the order. If you hire a lawyer to file that petition, in many cases (but not all), the Court will award you your reasonable attorney's fees.
