If the court ordered the vehicle to be turned over to you as part of your divorce and your ex-spouse has failed to comply, you can pursue contempt of court against your ex.
You will need to file an Order to Show Cause (court form) requesting a hearing for contempt of court. Contact the court clerk to schedule a hearing date.
In addition to the Order to Show Cause, also include a declaration signed under penalty of perjury stating the facts that the car has not been turned over to you by your ex. You should also include any additional supporting documents that the car has not been turned over to you in support of your contempt of court case.
File all of the above documents with the court with a proof of service, and mail a copy of all your filed documents to your ex or the ex's attorney. The proof of service verifies the date of mailing and provides notice of the hearing for contempt of court.
Before filing all of the above documents with the court, ask the court clerk if any additional documents are required to file in a contempt of court case because the required documents may vary from state to state.
