Your recourse is to pursue contempt of court against your ex.
File an Order to Show Cause for the hearing on this matter after calling the court clerk to schedule the hearing. With the Order to Show Cause , file your declaration signed under penalty of perjury stating the facts supporting your contempt of court claim and any other supporting documents or other evidence. Also file a proof of service. After filing with the court, mail a copy of all these documents to your ex. The proof of service verifies the date of mailing of your documents to provide your ex with notice of the hearing.
