What exactly should go in a motion of enforcement?

I was granted an annulment 9 months ago. The annulment stated that my ex was required to give me $300 per month for the next 5 years (a total of $18,000). He has not made any payment. I was told I need to file a Motion of Enforcement. However, the state doesn’t seem to have a general template.

The petition that you really need to file is one for an order to show cause for contempt of a court order if the person who is under an order to pay you so much per month has not been doing so. I suggest that you may want to consult with a family law attorney for assistance and if you do not want to pay for one, consult with your local legal aid clinic for help.
