(a) A court may not amend, modify, alter, or change the division of property made or approved in the decree of divorce or annulment. An order to enforce the division is limited to an order to assist in the implementation of or to clarify the prior order and may not alter or change the substantive division of property.
(b) An order under this section that amends, modifies, alters, or changes the actual, substantive division of property made or approved in a final decree of divorce or annulment is beyond the power of the divorce court and is unenforceable.
(c) The power of the court to render further orders to assist in the implementation of or to clarify the property division is abated while an appellate proceeding is pending.

As to debt to creditors, these are not enforceable by contempt. Debts to creditors are in the nature of a debt and unless funds to pay the debt were in existence at the time of the divorce and the judge ordered that it was from these designated funds that the debt was to be paid, failure to pay the debt is not enforceable by contempt. We abolished debtor prisons. I have written on "debts after divorce" until I'm sick of the subject. So at the bottom right hand side of the screen, there is a window and above the window is written "search this forum." Type in "debts after divorce" into the window and hit go. Then read the threads on the subject.
